The kids in the 4s&5s class drew these on the chalk board wall today during the first service. I forgot to take a picture until after the second service kids had colored over and around it, but I think you can still see most of it. The person on the left is the "traditional" view of a king. The kids drew a crown, purple robes, a sack of gold coins (rich), a sword, and muscles (strong.) On the right is Jesus... a different kind of king. No crown (although the kids took creative license and decided that he had blue spikey hair), plain robes, no money, and a hammer (carpenter) although I think that got erased. Our story was about Jesus washing the disciples feet before the Last Supper; it's titled "The Servant King" in our kids Bible. Big props to Eliza, Kate, Gunnar, and James; they all did a great job with the drawings and thinking about what makes Jesus a different kind of king and why that's important.
Also, without any prompting, the 4 of them spent the last 5 minutes of story time telling me about how Jesus loves them, and God is with them all the time even though they can't see him, and He lives in their hearts. :) It's so awesome that these kids understand these truths at such a young age.
