Scroll down for the link to the list of all available Bible Activity Bulletins.
WHAT THIS IS
For some time, I have been making these Children's Bible activity bulletins for my church. I am humbled and joyful that churches use them for their Sunday morning worship and for Children's church, VBS, outreach, Bible clubs like Awanas, Good news clubs, and Backyard Bible club. Some people told me they give them out as a take-home and others use them as an extra part of their curriculum.
This is a four-page Bi-fold double-sided activity bulletin with fun puzzles, games, and pictures to color. (Subscribers through Patreon receive an additional 2 pages).
Each activity is built on a Bible verse so that as the child is doing the activity, they are becoming engaged with God's Word, which will not return void. (Isaiah 55:10-11)
Most of the activities have a "Let's talk about it." question so teachers and parents can move from an activity to a spiritual discussion.

Every scripture has a discussion question, and I hope the discussion questions give you opportunities to talk about spiritual things. I try to keep them open-ended and even a little vague on purpose. I pray that you have life-changing conversations with the children because of these.
ABOUT ISSUE 118
I think this issue has many great scriptures, and anyone using it will encounter God's Word.
This issue has a variety of themes and topics.
- The first coloring picture uses Matthew 6:26-27, "Look at the birds…." (Subscriber's version only)
- The shape sort puzzle uses Matthew 5:11-12, one of the blessings of the Sermon on the Mount. (Subscriber's version only)
- The code-beaker puzzle (It may be a bit challenging) uses Psalm 63:3-4. (Subscriber's version only)
- The crossword uses Romans 8:15, a verse about the gift of the Spirit.
- The Explorer's Challenge (Mini Bible Study) uses John 14:27, Jesus' words of peace.
- The scrambler uses Acts 16:31, a verse we often quote when sharing the Gospel.
- Another coloring picture uses John 8:12, where Jesus teaches that he is the light of the world.
- Another word search uses Philippians 2:3-4, a favorite verse about putting others first.
- The maze uses Matthew 5:14, the city on the hill verse.
- The drop word puzzle uses Matthew 12:30; he who is not with me is against me. (It is one of those hard sayings of Jesus that we like to avoid, but we still need to be faithfully teaching.)
- The memory verse craft uses Matthew 4:19.
- The hidden letter puzzle uses Romans 6:23; it is one of those essential scriptures to share the Gospel.
I am delighted with the "Hidden letter Puzzle," It was a lot of work. I did have a problem; I began to feel a nagging that some letters were not the right size, but I had started and was well into it, so I thought it would be ok but not great. Then after spending two hours creating each letter in a text box and pasting it into the image, I was moving from one screen to another and forgot to save it! My work was lost! I wondered if I should leave it out. Still, I remember as a child the satisfaction I felt when finding an item in a hidden picture puzzle, so I started over. You know what, I think the second version is far superior to the first since I was able to make the foundational changes at the beginning. Now, it is one of my favorite elements in this issue. I hope you enjoy it!
The word search puzzles took all my brainpower! I kept trying to squeeze in another word from the verses. They went through several versions, each requiring changes, printing, and testing the puzzle. But I would see a place where just a letter or two would combine with others to make a word, so I kept redoing them. But they turned out great!
