High demand for colouring sheets

Eli and Samuel

Anna Chaplains tell us that colouring sheets and word searches are very popular pastimes for people during lockdown. You might like to take advantage of this resource. For, every week Janet Parker posts a new colouring sheet with a biblical theme on her parish website.

This week's tells of the boy Samuel being called by God and his master Eli interpreting that call. Each comes with suggested avenues of thought to bring the story to life as people do their colouring, together with a few prompts for self-reflection.

There is space at the end of the weekly sheets to add a name and contact details in case you are printing off batches and sending them into care homes or sheltered accommodation as a suggested activity for residents.
