Preschool
This Sunday the kids watched Boz the Bear’s Scrubbly Bubbly Clean. They learned that God wants the people that know Him and love Him to be clean on the inside by obeying Him. A good reminder is to be clean on the outside too.
The kids also read the Easter story from their Children’s Bible. Next week, they will be starting a new Preschool curriculum!
Elementary (K - 5th Grade)
Currently we are combining all Elementary classes. This group will be split into smaller classes as attendance continues to grow.
The kids finished up a series called "Get Ready for Easter." The children learned that Jesus came back to life after He was crucified and that this is the joy of the Easter celebration. They learned that they can share this good news with others by telling them what Jesus has done.
Bible Story: Matthew 27:57-66 & 28:1-7, John 20:11, 14-18
“It is finished!” Those were Jesus’ last words as He hung on the cross. A man named Joseph went to Pilate after Jesus had died and asked him if he could take Jesus’ body and bury Him. Pilate agreed. Joseph took the body of Jesus and put Him in his tomb which was carved out of a very large rock, kind of like a cave. Then Joseph rolled a large rock in front of the tomb to seal it up. At the demand of the Jewish leaders, Pilate posted guards around Jesus’ tomb. These soldiers were there when Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. As they got closer to the tomb, they felt the earth shake as an angel rolled back the stone and sat on it. The angel’s appearance was so bright that the guards fell unconscious. The angel told the women, “Do not be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus, but He is not here. He has risen, just as He said.” The angel sent the women to tell this good news to all the others, including the disciples. Mary Magdalene went back to the empty tomb and began to cry. She heard someone say her name. As she looked up, she saw it was Jesus. She was so excited. She ran to find the disciples. Jesus really was alive!
The Child’s Prayer:
Dear Jesus, This is the best part about Easter. You came back to life. Nothing is impossible with You. I can trust You to help me with anything. I want You to always be a part of my life. This week I will share Your good news with a friend. Amen.
Memory Verse:
We saw it, we heard it, and now we're telling you so you can experience it along with us. John 1:3a
Live It:
Talk about these questions…
1: What is the good news of Easter? (Jesus rose from the dead, He is alive!)
2: Who can I share the good news with? (friends, family, neighbors, teammates, relatives)
3: Why should I tell the good news? (God is the greatest, there is no better news, it brings hope to others, it provides a way to heaven)
