Mary Shows Her Love For Jesus - MSSS Bible Lesson

Mary Shows Her Love For Jesus

Scripture Reference: Matthew 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9

Illustrating the Story

Use MSSS Bible Character Crafts to create characters for story-telling.
Collect sample cards of perfume from department stores for children to smell or spray children with perfume.
Take a bottle of perfume (I used just an old one that I no longer use) and put some on the children's feet. My girls just loved this - not only the pampering but also smelling the perfume as it wafted around the room. A wonderful way to use another sense in bringing a Bible story to life.
