April 22 is National Jelly Bean Day
are a way to share the gospel using the colors
of the jelly beans not only for Easter but thru-out the year.
A bag of jelly beans, colorful and sweet. A prayer, a promise... an Easter treat!
| WHITE is for the cleansing from sin (Psalm 51:1-2) | |
| GREEN is for our new life in Him (Colossians 1:10) | |
| PURPLE is for the crowns we'll wear (2 Timothy 4:8) |

Below is a revision of "The Jelly Bean Prayer".
For many years things black were associated with bad and things white were associated with good. This unfortunately lead to hateful feelings towards people of color and feelings of inferiority and superiority. I chose not to pass it on to the rainbow congregation where I serve a Risen Savior.

The NEW Jelly Bean Prayer
Red
is for the blood He gave,
Green is for the grass He made,
Yellow is for the sun so bright,
Orange is for the edge of night.
Black , White , Brown , Yellow and Red
are for the children He made
All of these colors receive the grace He gave,
Purple is for the hour of sorrow,
Pink is for the new tomorrow.
Give a bag full of jelly beans,
Colorful and sweet,
Tell them it's a Prayer....
It's a promise..
It's an Easter Treat!
