Family Worship Coloring sheet and activity:
Fireworks in a Jar
Materials:
a bowl
cooking oil
watercolor paint color
measuring spoons
a jar
water 

In a bowl pour two to three tablespoons of cooking oil. Add 3-5 drops of watercolor paint color. Use a spoon to stir the paint into the oil. The 1 will not mix, but stirring will help to break the paint apart. Then, carefully pour the oil into a jar of water. The oil will settle at the top of the jar after a minute. The watercolors, however will actually begin to shoot down, slowly mixing into the water to create a “fireworks” effect! The watercolors will continue to shoot down like fireworks until all of the paint has fallen from the oil. Just like our “fireworks” are pretty amazing—God is even MORE amazing!

Family Worship Activity:
Play a game of ‘true or false’ with your families. Use stories of Jesus doing amazing things like;
True or False;
- Jesus walked on water
- Jesus fed 5000 people with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish
- God created the world and all the animals
- Jesus healed a man who couldn’t walk
Then include some amazing things that God is doing for your family.
Make the point that we can know that God is amazing by looking at all He has done and is doing.
