More about these coloring pages
Last Friday, my class of third graders eagerly colored the Mary and Joseph coloring page for Sunday school. They loved the images depicting their journey to Bethlehem, especially the moment they found the manger. Each page captures a unique part of their story, including the angel's message and the star guiding them. As they colored, I reminded them of the verse where the angel said, 'Do not be afraid' (Luke 1:30). This helped them understand Mary and Joseph's faith amidst uncertainty. We also discussed how God provided for them during their travels. These pages are a wonderful resource for reinforcing our lesson about obedience and trust in God.
