More about these coloring pages
‘Prepare the way of the Lord’ (Mark 1:3) is a key phrase from St. John the Baptist's message. My kids love to color, and last Friday, my youngest spent an hour on these pages. The images show John preaching in the wilderness and baptizing Jesus, which led to great discussions at our kitchen table. We talked about how John called everyone to repent and how important it is to listen to God's voice. These 6 free printable images are an excellent resource for Sunday school or at-home activities. It's wonderful to see how engaged they get with the story while using their favorite colored pencils.
