Test of Faith: The Healing Miracles of Jesus - Week 1

This entire unit is about the healing miracles of Jesus.  In just five short weeks, there is no way we can cover all the amazing miracles documented in scripture.  As a family, we encourage you to look beyond the five miracles we have chosen for study during this unit.

You can find a chronological chart of healings at this site:  http://www.biblewise.com/character/jesus_healings/jesus_healings_activities.htm#healinggrid.  This website also includes a blank grid template for you to use as a family to record your study of each miracle.

For the little ones, you can print out a coloring booklet bout the miracles of Jesus at: http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/english/The%20Miracles%20of%20Jesus%20English%20CB.pdf
