How many of you have ever worked on a crossword puzzle?

We have a very simple one today for you to solve.   

Give each child a copy of the puzzle patterns, scissors, and pencil. Have them put their name on the sheet near the bottom of the cross. Have children carefully cut along the dotted line at the top of their pattern to separate the squares from the cross section. Then have children cut out the individual squares. Let the children try to figure out the puzzle by arranging the letters over the cross puzzle. This will form the two words as shown on the image. Ask children not to shout out the answers for a few moments to allow more children to solve the puzzle on their own. Once the puzzle is solved by more children, hand out the glue sticks and the children can glue the letters in place. 

Nice work! You solved the puzzle that represents our SuperTruth for today. How do you think it represents our SuperTruth?

Yes, “mercy” can be seen through the word “cross.” Our SuperTruth says “God showed His mercy through the cross.” Take your puzzles home to remind you of the love and mercy that God showed each of us by sending Jesus to die for us on the cross!
