Why was Jesus’ visit to the temple important?

Jesus showed that He is God’s Son and that He came to do God’s will.

During the opening time we had 5 different STEM mazes for the kids to navigate. The kids had a blast with these Jesus as a boy activities to help them start thinking about gettign lost.

When we came together for music and the Bible story we explained that Mary and Joseph had to find their way to Jesus whom they accidentally left at the temple. Then we did our Jesus as a child craft to help them have something to take home as a conversation start to what we learned in Sunday School today.
