Resurrection Rolls

John 19:39-40 "And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.  Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloth"

Resurrection Rolls are a GREAT visual to teach children about the burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and they are yummy as well! :-)

This is what you need...

1. Oven
2. can of crescent rolls
3. Butter
4. Marshmallows
5. Cinnamon-and-sugar mix

This is what you do...

1. Read the Scripture to the Children
2. Then explain how Jesus is like the marshmallow (pure and white)
3. Dip the marshmallow into the butter (like Jesus was covered in myrrh and aloes)
4. Use the crescent to wrap him (like with the linens)
5. And then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar on him to smell good (like the spices they used)
6. Bake the croissants in the oven for as long as recommended on can
7. When they came out of oven, have the children bite into them.
8. "What's missing" - the Marshmallows
9. "He is not here"- HE IS RISEN

Great Example....Enjoy - Rejoicing in the Present
