After VBS at church, our Sunday evening Kidz Group (1st-5th grades) started working on a Kid’s Cookbook to use as a tool to minister to the new children who visited our church during VBS.

We used a Bible concordance to search for verses about food and drink relating to God and Jesus.  After deciding on four verses, they were typed up (by me) and illustrated by the children.

Next, the children each shared one to three recipes they are able to make by themselves.  Again, I typed them up and the children illustrated the recipes.

All the kids signed the final page of the book to personalize it.  And we were sure to include an invite to the various children’s programs we have at church in hopes that some of the new children (and parents) will make our church a home for themselves.  In trying to share Jesus with people in a practical and fun way, our prayer is that the children will come to know the Lord loves them and we do, too.
