Dear Detective in Training,

Great work! We are very impressed with the work you have done on the past four cases! Last month you used your tool, the Bible, to learn about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You discovered that these three different persons form our one God. They each have different, but very important, roles in our lives.

All three members of the Trinity are eternal; they go on forever and never end. One of my favorite things to do is look up at the sky. Something I really like about the sky is that it seems to go on and on, without end. When I look up at the sky, I often think about heaven. When we go to heaven, we will live forever there. But, how do we know that we are going to go to heaven?

Solve case #5 by using your tool, finding evidence, and asking questions to find out how we know that we are going to heaven. We look forward to learning what you have found out!

Keep sleuthing,

Detectives Kate and Jocelyn

Activity

Yarn-Wrapped Planets

God made all things. He even made the stars and the planets that we see in the sky! Ask a grownup to help you cut cardboard circles for these planets.

You will need:

• Cardboard
• Scissors
• Several colors of yarn

Directions:

1. Cut the cardboard into different sizes of circles. (Some planets are bigger, and some are smaller!)
2. Cut little slits all around the edge of each cardboard circle. This will help the yarn stay put.
3. Wrap each cardboard circle in a different color of yarn.
