Craft
- Make play dough or plastercine food to fill a plate

Story
This is best done at meal time when setting the table together and eating nice food is all part of the story time. Have some squash and bread or crackers ready as part of the meal. You will be asked to pause the video while you eat and then restart it for the last part.
Remembering Jesus
What do you remember about Jesus? Have a discussion. What is he like? What did he do?
Please send in what the children say via What’s App and I will put them all in a memory board which I will send back out to you all and put in this space on the All Saints website.
Your special meals
Think about special meals you have had as a family. Share your memories within your family. These pictures will remind you of some.
Maybe draw a picture of one that you can send to us. Or draw one of the special one Jesus had with his friends that we have remembered today.
Prayer time
Pick up something from your kitchen that you really like. Remember where it came from and why it is special to you. Remember the people who you associate with that item and pray for them now.
Let’s say:
Thank you God for the people this reminds me of . . . .
Keep them happy and safe today. Amen
