The Apostle’s Creed tells the story of who God is, and when we profess our faith, we share both God’s story, and our part in it. Make your own mini book and find other activities and ideas to share the story of God and your faith!
Parents, use your own discretion when it comes to your kids. If content is rated for certain ages then we will indicate that. Enjoy!

Read: 1 John 4:16: “So we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.”
Reflect:This verse says that God and God’s love stays with you, which means God is there through life’s ups and downs. Tell about a time—happy or sad—when you noticed God’s love.
Pray: “Dear God of love, thank you for remaining with us always. Help us to tell our story, remembering that you were there for every part of it. Amen.”
Bless: Trace a cross on each other’s shoulder, hand, or head and say “[Name], you are a beloved child of God.”
