The Bread of Life (EXPANSION SET ONLY)

The Bread of Life Story Kit

“I am the Bread of Life.  Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” — John 6:35

The Bread of Life Story Kit invites children into the quiet hunger of Lent — the place where we remember that we do not live by bread alone. Rooted in Scripture and shaped through hands-on storytelling, this set helps children explore how God provides in the wilderness and how Jesus fulfills that provision as the true Bread of Life. Through tactile play and guided reflection, children discover what it means to come to Christ with empty hands — and find Him more than enough.

This set is part of a larger series exploring the “I AM” statements of Jesus found in the Gospel of John.  Six complete kits will be released over time, each designed to help children discover more about who Jesus is.  The Bread of Life is the fourth set to be released and can be used in tandem with the Lenten season if desired.
