This quick craft will help illustrate the story of Jesus’ ascension.

^“9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.¹⁰ And as they were gazing intently into ^[h]the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.¹¹ They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into^[i]the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:9-11
