Craft Ideas: Serving Others (Matthew

These crafts, based on the parable of the sheep and goats (Matthew 25), aim to remind students how important it is to serve others. When we look for opportunities to help those around us, we help Jesus. Two of these art activities involve creative ways to remember to serve; the third involves the sheep and goats with a reversible puppet.

The lesson accompanying these crafts is based on the story of judgment and the separation of the sheep and the goats, referenced in Matthew 25. While it might seem a bit works-based or worrisome, the emphasis of the message is that we want to serve and love others as a response to the love Christ shows us. When we do that, we honor God and ultimately serve Him. Two of these crafts serve as prompts to help and serve other people, as the treat bag is meant to give away and the plate is intended as a decorative reminder to care for others. The puppet is a nod to the story itself, recognizing that we should aim to be “sheep” and not “goats.”
