More about these coloring pages
As I prepared for last week's lesson on St Stephen, I couldn't help but reflect on his bravery. One of my favorite moments was discussing how Stephen prayed, 'Lord, do not hold this sin against them' (Acts 7:60) while facing his accusers. These six coloring images show Stephen preaching, being stoned, and his prayer for forgiveness. My third graders loved coloring the scene where Stephen saw the heavens open. We used crayons, and the kids really connected with the story. It's a beautiful way to illustrate his faith and inspire compassion in our lives. I keep this free printable in my Sunday school binder for future lessons. It's a great tool to reinforce the message of forgiveness and courage in faith.
