Seeds of Faith – a Mark 4 Craft

Materials Needed:

• Popsicle sticks
• Glue
• Markers or paint
• Small plastic or paper cups
• Soil
• Seeds (such as flower or vegetable)

Instructions:

1. Begin by decorating the popsicle sticks with markers or paint. Write a message of faith, such as "Faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains" or "Planting seeds of faith".
2. Glue three popsicle sticks together in a triangle shape to form a small planter box.
3. Fill the planter box with soil.
4. Plant a seed in the soil and water it according to the directions on the seed packet.
5. Write or print out a verse from Mark 4, such as "The farmer sows the word" or "Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop".
6. Attach the verse to the popsicle stick planter box using glue or tape.
7. Repeat these steps to create multiple Seeds of Faith planters.
8. Display the planters as a reminder to have faith and to spread the word of God.

Variations:

• Use different colored popsicle sticks or add stickers for more variety.
• Instead of popsicle sticks, use small terra cotta pots or mason jars.
• Use different types of seeds for each planter, such as flowers, vegetables, or herbs.
