Bible Craft Activities for Sunday School
The story of Gideon is an amazing and sometimes lesser-known Biblical classic. It is remarkable to think of what God did with Gideon and the tiny Israelite army! These crafts go along with the story to commemorate Gideon and God’s glorious strength. These Sunday School craft projects are based on Judges 6-7.
Suggested Bible Verses or Craft Captions:
The Lord will fight for you!!
But the Lord said to him, “Peace be to you. Do not fear; you shall not die.”
