Happy Monday everybody!Click the image for a larger version on Facebook!
Here's a quick and easy craft we tried ourselves over the weekend. It'll only take a few minutes and the results are very pretty!
According to Christianity.about.com:
"The dove represents the Holy Spirit or the Holy Ghost in Christianity. The Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus like a dove when he was baptized in the Jordan River:
Luke 3:22
... and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased." (NIV)

The dove is also a symbol of peace. In Genesis 8 after the flood, a dove returned to Noah with an olive branch in its beak, revealing the end of God's judgement and the beginning of a new covenant with man."
Using the template provided simply cut out the nesting doves and the heart in the middle. Thread together with fine cotton for a lovely mobile. It doesn't look like much on paper, but is surprisingly attractive hanging in a window, and you get a lovely effect when you and two or three together in the sun!
Take some pictures and send them in so we can see what you've been doing!
Hello. There doesn't seem to be a link to the template. Please let me know where I can find it - I'd love to use it for our lesson this Sunday.
ReplyDeleteYoun know, you're quite right! And I don't have it anymore either! However, I think it's pretty simple and you should be able to just copy it out...
