Fruitful Spirit – a Galatians 6 Craft

Materials Needed

• Fruit-shaped foam or felt pieces (apples, grapes, bananas, etc.)
• Markers or paint
• Glue
• Ribbon or string
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Begin by reading Galatians 6:7-8 with your group.
2. Discuss the importance of sowing good seeds and the concept of reaping what you sow.
3. Have each person choose a fruit and decorate it with markers or paint to represent what they want to sow (e.g. kindness, love, patience, etc.).
4. Cut out a small leaf shape from green foam or felt and write Galatians 6:8 on it.
5. Glue the leaf onto the fruit and attach a ribbon or string to create a loop for hanging.
6. Display the fruit in a prominent place as a reminder to sow good seeds in all areas of life and reap the benefits of a fruitful spirit.

Variations

• Instead of foam or felt, use real fruit and create a fruit basket to display.
• Have each person write down actions or behaviors they want to sow and attach them to their fruit with small pieces of paper.
• Use this craft as an opportunity to discuss the fruits of the spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23 and create a set of fruit-shaped decorations to represent each one.
