Craft: Run to win! medals
Becoming a Christian is the beginning of the story, not the end: you're at the starting line, not the winner's circle!
Supplies: Gold glitter craft foam, markers, hole punch, ribbon, pony beads
Cut two approximately 3-in.-diameter circles from craft foam for each child. Use a permanent marker to write Run to Win! on one circle and 1 Corinthians 9:24 on the other one. Cut one 36-in.-long ribbon for each child.
Have the children use a glue dot to glue the circles back to back, glitter side out. Punch a hole in the top, and thread the ribbon through. Even the ends of the ribbon, fold them in thirds, and thread them through a pony bead; then slide it down to the top of the medal to hold it flat. Tie the ends of the ribbon together so the child can wear it around his neck.
