We had a lot of fun in Sunday school over Easter! We learned about the trial, crucifixion & resurrection of Jesus. We made cross necklaces out of nails to remind us of Jesus' sacrifice & cross cookies to practice our discipleship by sharing them & reminding others of Jesus ! In May we’ll be finishing up for the year by learning about breakfast on the beach with Jesus & His ascension into Heaven! The last day of Sunday school will be Sunday, May 18.
Preschool/Kindergarteners have been busy learning about the woman at the well & the Resurrection of Jesus! They learned that Jesus loves everyone & more about the story by making bricks out of playdoh to make their own wells & a “Jesus loves you” windsock. They also learned about the story of Jesus' Resurrection & how Jesus loves us! They had a “He is risen” snack & an Easter Egg story hunt to help them learn the Easter story. Finally, they used stickers to create their own resurrection day picture of the empty tomb. So much fun & learning going on! We hope you’ll join us in May!
We’re starting our World Mission for Heifer International
April 27 through May 25
This year we’ll be doing the “Fill the Ark” program, which is a four-week devotional with a focus on gratitude for our blessings & a generous spirit of giving to our neighbors in need. Each day includes information about Heifer’s work, animal gifts, resources & approach. Daily giving challenges help people to appreciate their abundance & collect change to help struggling families. This is another way for our kids to learn that we can help people outside our own communities. Giving calendars will be available in Sunday school & after worship for the congregation for those that would like to participate. We’ll also put out the piggy banks on the tables. Please give what you can.
