Ever been there? Or maybe a child has been left waiting for a parent to come and collect them after the service. Or perhaps, there's been an emergency and you've unexpectedly had to entertain a child for a while.
On Sundays, I usually have an activity table set up for these types of scenarios. But it's always helpful to have other solutions up your sleeve. Here's one idea.
What is it and how much does it cost?
The Bible Jigz jigsaw puzzle app from Dennis Jones is just such a resource. First up, the graphics are great! Since it's from Dennis Jones, the Bible story illustrations are wonderful.
The cost? You can download this absorbing app for only $1.99.

You also might find it a useful little app to use for small group activities to introduce a specific Bible story. And, of course, it would also be great for families. You can find the app here and read more about the illustrative work of Dennis Jones here.
While I'm highlighting his work, you might also be interested in a special project created as an introduction for a sermon series on Jonah. You can find the YouTube clip below. It would work well with other kids or teens if you needed a quick introduction to the story of Jonah.
