In this activity, you are going to learn a new trade—tent making!
What does that have to do with today’s lesson? Paul was a tentmaker.
What were the names of the husband and wife Paul met in Corinth? Aquila and Priscilla.
What did they share in common with Paul? They were all tentmakers by trade or occupation.
Aquila and Priscilla invited Paul to live with them while He was in Corinth. While there, the three believers made tents to earn money, and Paul preached about Christ and defended his faith each Sabbath Day in the Synagogue. When it was time for Paul to leave Corinth, he took Aquila and Priscilla with him and they sailed to Syria.
Have children write their names on their completed tents and allow them to share their creations with the class.
