What’s Happening in March
This month, your child will be studying Jesus’ life with stories of how He met people’s deepest needs. This fun drink activity creates “cups of praise.” There are so many things to praise Jesus for in the stories studied this month: Jesus offers eternal life, He has the power to forgive sins, God sent Jesus to die for our sins, and Jesus is alive! You will need clear cups, lemon-lime soda, ice cubes with cherries inside, orange juice, banana slices, and strawberry or pineapple chunks. Make the ice cubes the day before. Boil water, then let it cool. Boiling the water creates clear ice cubes. Fill ice cube tray with the cooled water. Gently submerge a cherry in each section of the tray. Freeze the water and cherries.Fill each cup half full with soda. Have each family member slowly add a cherry ice cube and watch how the ice displaces the soda. Pour in orange juice and watch the fizz rise. Finally have family members add fruit pieces to their cups one at a time until they are almost overflowing.Talk about how your cups of praise might overflow. Why is this a good thing? Talk about why your hearts brim with praise for Jesus.
