The Church Prays

Name Date

Read the Story

King Herod was unkind to the church. He hurt some believers. He put Peter in prison.

The church prayed hard for Peter. One night an angel came. A light shone. The angel woke Peter up. The chains fell off his hands!

Peter walked out with the angel. The big iron gate opened by itself. Then the angel left.

Peter went to a house where friends were praying. He knocked. A girl named Rhoda heard his voice. She was so glad that she ran to tell the others and left Peter at the door! At last they let him in.
