More about these coloring pages

While preparing for our Sunday school class, I found the 'St Matthew the Evangelist coloring page for kids' and knew it would be a hit. My 7-year-old dove right in, eager to color St Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. The images show his transformation from tax collector to disciple, capturing the moment he began to follow Jesus. We talked about how 'Jesus saw a man named Matthew' (Matthew 9:9) and how amazing it is that Jesus calls everyone to Him, no matter their past. As my child colored, we also discussed St Matthew's feast day and what it means to share the Gospel. The 6 images in this printable are not just fun; they spark meaningful conversations about faith and following Jesus. I plan to use this page again for our next church gathering, as it’s a great way to reinforce the lesson while letting the kids express their creativity.
