Boxes are stacked up and the children throw balls to try to knock off the top box which says 'The Gift of God is Eternal Life' as they throw the balls they recite the Bible Verse - Ephesians 2:8-9

OPTIONAL:

Three Gift Skit:

God has a FREE gift He wants to give to you.

First boy … I have a gift I want to give to you, but first you must hop on one foot… now the other foot… great you have worked for your gift. (Open the box and give him a small gift)

Third child… I have a gift I want to give to you, you don’t have to work for it and there is nothing you can do to deserve it, I just want to give you this gift because I love you with the love of the Lord. (Open the box and give her a small gift and the banner rolled up in the box that says HEAVEN)

NEEMA (Heaven in Swahili)

Heaven is a free gift …

"Was the first gift a free gift? (wait for answers) NO he had to work for it."

"Was the second gift a free gift? (wait for answers) NO she had to deserve it."

"Was the third gift a free gift? (wait for answers) YES she did nothing to earn it or deserve it that is how it is with the gift of eternal life in Heaven it is not something you work for or deserve."

“For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
