COVER A DOOR with the names of Jesus

I got this idea when I saw one of the sets of doors going into the the basilica Sagrada Familia in Barcelona which list the names of Jesus in different languages as well as some of the Gospel of John. Jesus is the Door!

You can see a variety of pictures here.

Here is a nice close up, showing what the words look like.

It would be fun to decorate a classroom door (covered in paper, of course) with names of Jesus.

Names of Jesus Paper Chain

We made a names of Jesus paper chain for the children to use as an Advent countdown. We typed up a list of the different names, the verse address and explained briefly what each meant then printed them on brightly colored paper and cut them into strips. Each child received one set of strips to tape or staple together during the lesson and had a very colorful chain to take home to countdown the days to the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

This video contains a very brief object lesson and a short Bible passage video on Isaiah 9:1-7.

Editor notes: Meghan uses her object lesson to aptly describe what a prophet is!

Rotation.org is a curated archive of creative Sunday School lesson plans, ideas, and resources contributed and improved by our members, volunteers, and staff. You are invited to share what you can and glean what you need. A free registration gives you access to additional content, features, and permission to post. A Supporting Membership gives you access to our Writing Team Lesson Sets, our free software and guide downloads, and much much more.

Founded in 1997, we are non-profit, non-denominational, volunteer-led, and member-supported.

How Our Content is Organized
Our lesson forums are organized by Bible story and then by teaching medium such as video, art, cooking, and drama, etc. (what Rotation Modelers call "workshops"). Because the Rotation Modelers who created and lead this site teach major Bible stories for four or five weeks in a row, some minor story forums may have less content. Traditional Sunday Schools can easily adapt "Workshop Rotation" style lessons.

Theologically Speaking
Rotation.org's history, content, membership, and leadership reflect the broad theological middle and mainline tradition.
