Activity

There are cards to download with a money bag symbol - Download

This is a symbol of things that we value. People are invited to  do with them what they feel is most appropriate. Some might want to put them in the offering plate as a symbol that we’re going to give them up or give them away. Others might want to take them home and put them in their Bible at Luke 12:13-21 as a sign that we want God to be in charge.
