It’s that time of year… the time to recommit to letting the light of Christ shine through us and to turn the brightness up. Let’s light the world with charity, love, humility, forgiveness, faith, patience, hope… everything that Christ is and wants us to be! This Light the World activity is a great way to get kids involved and thinking about ways they can reach out to others, one by one, as Christ did. All of the pages in this free, printable service coloring book can give children ideas for serving an individual. Each page also features a beautiful scripture that teaches of love and kindness.
Light the World Activity ~ #LightTheWorld Campaign
The Light the World campaign, hosted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, grows and reaches further every single year. You may have noticed the #lighttheworld hashtags that flood Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram each year, where people highlight ways they have found to “light the world.” This year, as the LIGHT THE WORLD campaign is focusing on serving “one by one,” a service idea calendar, for the month of December, has been made available to download. You can also get daily service idea prompts sent directly to your phone. I love that! To see all of the goodness that the campaign offers, be sure to stop by Come Unto Christ. November 24th is a big day… it’s the release of the new The Christ Child video. I got a chance to see it at a private premiere, and it was AMAZING… incredible effort was put into making this recreation of Christ’s birth the most historically accurate video available.
How to Use ~ Light the World Coloring Book Activity
