Tell this story of the lady who was found out in a school assembly, a children’s program or in a preach
"Have you ever been told off? Why do we get told off? Because we have done something wrong – yes....
This story is about someone who did something very wrong. A group of men caught her red-handed: she had been FOUND OUT.(Paint in headline) They took her to a very special person.... who do you think it was? JESUS. They were not nice men. They actually wanted to trap Jesus into breaking the Law himself – here he is on the steps of the Temple, teaching. (paint him in, with his 12 disciples, and a crowd round, listening).
Why did there always seem to be a lot of people around when Jesus was teaching?
(He was special, he would say...... and do..... etc. Etc.)
In came the crowd of angry men dragging the poor woman who had been found out.
They shouted out what she had done, in front of everyone. How do you think she felt?
What she had done was so bad, they knew that the Law said she ought to be stoned to death. She must have been terrified. She knew she had done WRONG. She felt guilty and ashamed. (Paint in the words). We know inside, don't we, if we have done something wrong? Even if our parents, or teachers, or friends don't know, we know – and the Bible says that God knows, too." (John 8: 1-11)
A another beautiful Bible story written by Korky and Anni Davey (OAC ministries) with an easy to do painting. You can however also tell the story without a painting.
