Elijah and the Great Rain Bible Craft
In this story, God wanted to show His power to the people and He used His prophet, Elijah, to do it. God sent rain in response to Elijah’s prayer after a long and devastating drought. This “rainy day” craft will help remind children that God is a powerful God Who can do great miracles today just like he did for Elijah when we pray according to His will.
Note: This free craft is also available as a downloadable PDF.
