Simon was a very generous person for he helped and carried the burden of the One who was suffering.  Think of someone you know, someone in your family, or a close friend who is special to you, for example, someone who takes care of you, makes you happy, listens to you and/or encourages you.

  • As you think about what makes this person special to you, make a model of them out of pipe cleaners.
