Preschool: Easter

The kids will participate in the service once again.  Easter Sunday they will help with the "Christ has risen" phrase, so please practice with your kids.  If you are able, stay until the beginning of the second service to repeat the performance.

For Sunday School, we will read the story of Easter where Mary discovers that Jesus is alive!  For our craft, we will be decorating a tomb for Jesus.  Then we will color and cut out a Jesus to put in the tomb.

Preschool: Palm Sunday

The kids handed out palm crosses to everyone in church in the call to worship, during both services.

For Sunday School, we celebrated Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem by decorating the room for a party.  The kids really enjoyed decorating the room with balloons and streamers.  This is such a joyous time!  After the room was decorated, we read the story of Palm Sunday and talked about where we had seen donkeys before. 

For our craft, we made donkey puppets to remember that Jesus rode on the back of a donkey into Jerusalem.
