Kids Art

Calling all child artists! We need your help. For the Asbury Reader this fall we would like to use some kids' artwork. Parents, have your child draw, paint or color their depictions of the following ideas. We're taking submissions until April 20th. The artwork should be on paper no larger than 8.5 x 11 and should be dropped off at the spouse and family office in the student center.

We're looking for depictions of the Kingdom of God. Share the parable with your child, explain the image used in the parable and possibly show them some examples of the imagery (i.e mustard seeds etc.), then ask them to draw or paint their own depictions. The parables are as follows:
The Kingdom of heaven is like-
*leaven
*treasure hidden in a field
*a merchant seeking fine pearls
*a dragnet cast into the sea
*mustard seed
*a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure
*a king who wanted to settle accounts
*a landowner who went out early
*a king who prepared a wedding banquet

Thanks for your submissions! We can't guarantee publication of all artwork, but we appreciate everyone's effort, and drawing about the parable could be a great learning opportunity for your family.
