The Jelly Bean Prayer

The Jelly Bean prayer is a fun idea for children's ministry or an outreach to the community! Put together clear plastic bags of jelly beans, tie with a ribbon, and attach this poem. Distribute to homes around your church or friends and neighbors.
Jelly Bean Prayer A bag of jelly beans
colorful and sweet,
is a prayer,
is a promise,
is a special treat.

Written by Charlene Dickson
red jelly bean Red is for the blood He gave.
green jelly bean Green is for the grass he made.
yellow jelly bean Yellow is for the sun so bright.
orange jelly bean Orange is for the edge of night.
black jelly bean Black is for the sins we made.
white jelly bean White is for the grace he gave.
purple jelly bean Purple is for His hour of sorrow.
pink jelly bean Pink is for our new tomorrow.
