The Boy Who Shared His Lunch

Is a small lunch enough?

A huge crowd followed Jesus to a hillside, and there was nothing to eat. Philip said it couldn’t be done. A boy handed over five small loaves and two fish. Jesus gave thanks, and everyone ate as much as they wanted, with twelve baskets left over. We follow John 6, the only Gospel that mentions the boy.

About 7 minutes: 4 choices and 2 ways-of-knowing stops. Kids play Philip (who does the math), the boy with the lunch, and one of Jesus’ friends picking up the leftovers. Jesus is shown as a soft light, never as a person.
