What To Do
Start by explaining that in the Bible angels were often sent by God to give very important or good messages. You could give the children a few examples.
This resource can be used by individuals or in groups. Explain that children also have important things to say but that adults do not always hear them.
Hand out the A5 angel cards, then ask the children / young people some questions.
