This engaging craft activity powerfully conveys the important lesson that a church is more than just a structure; it is a thriving community of individuals. Children will confidently draw figures of the people who make up their own congregation inside the church, creating a meaningful connection to the familiar rhyme. The excitement of opening and closing the doors to reveal the figures will not only capture their imagination but also reinforce their sense of belonging. As they chant together, “Here is the church, here is the steeple; open the door and see all the people!”, they will gain a deeper understanding of the vibrant community that surrounds them. This hands-on experience is sure to leave a lasting impact on their perception of faith and fellowship.
