Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Acts 9:1–22
Saul travels to Damascus to arrest Jesus’ followers but encounters the risen Jesus on the road. Ananias is sent to help him; Saul receives sight, is baptised and begins proclaiming the faith he had opposed.
Main takeaway: Saul’s changed direction includes receiving help from someone he had feared.
As you arrange the scene
Discuss the characters and setting before placing the cut-out pieces on the background.
Track the road, loss of sight, Ananias’ visit and Saul’s new message. Notice Ananias’ hesitation as well as his willingness to help.
Younger learners can name the people and describe their positions. Older learners can explain the moment being represented and distinguish the passage from choices made in the illustration.
Questions to explore
- Why was Saul going to Damascus?
- Why was Ananias worried about visiting him?
- What actions showed Saul’s direction had changed?
