Cross/Box Children's Sermon or Craft - inside of the Box is John 3:16NIV. ( For King James Version click here.) Español   Português  The Box opens to a cross shape. Print and cut out. Fold everything up (verse side up). Fold into box shape and tape sides lightly. Put a bow on top. Use with a devotional or sermon about the Gift of God. I would suggest having the children make these after presenting a lesson from the Cross Card below.

Open the box by cutting the tape carefully. Now you have a cross with John 3:16 on it.

Cross Card Make a Greatest Gift Card that opens to a cross with John 3:16 (NIV) on it. This makes an excellent visual for a children's sermon about God's Gift. Also use in Children's Church, Sunday School, or the classroom.
