Based on John 6: 1-13
Jesus took the loaves of bread.
He thanked God for the bread and
gave it to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish.
He gave them as much as they wanted. (John 6:11)
The story of Jesus feeding a crowd of 5000 people is the only miracle story of Jesus recorded in all four
gospels. Mark and Matthew thought it was so important, they both included a second story of Jesus
feeding another crowd.
This Messy session reminds us of Holy Communion. Jesus took bread, gave thanks to God, broke the
bread and gave it to feed the crowds. The celebration time includes an option of including Holy
Communion with your Messy Church.
Jesus Feeds a Crowd is a complete Messy Church USA session that includes 10 activity ideas with
instructions of how to create, a script for your 20-minute celebration and ready to print items you will
need.
You will receive two PDFs; 1) Full session with activities, celebration and meal ideas; and 2) Ready to
print & DIY activity and take- home flyers.
