I have been on the hunt for more Gospel Wheel related activities and crafts. For this one, I wanted to combine the Gospel Wheel with the Wordless Book. It took a while to find all the beads I had in mind (Etsy was a great resource for this!) in the quantities I needed them - I have fifty Sparks this year so I needed quite a few! I put together each kit in a snack size bag so it was easy for the kids to put them together as their leader went over the Gospel Wheel with them. I LOVE how visual and tactile this bracelet is in re-enforcing the Gospel message.
I got the chain in bulk from Amazon with the connectors and cut them to size for the kids (I did a six inch length and that was great for almost everyone. I did bring the wire cutters to adjust for anyone who wanted that.)
Gold smile and gold beads for the character of God being holy.
Black heart and black beads for the character of man being sinful.
The metal cross bead with red beads for God's action of the cross. (I did have to drill the cross bead hole bigger to fit the chain)
White heart and white beads for man's action of trusting.
The green heart and beads for the heart of the Gospel message.
