EASTER LESSON
This week we had a special presentation. A girl was on trial for her sins, when a stranger stepped in to take her place. She didn't think that her actions were that bad until she understood she really was a sinner. She thought to change her ways and was willing to make better choices but there was nothing she could do to make up for her sins. She was left with this choice: take the punishment herself or allow someone to take her place. Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  The choice is ours to make. Watch this video with your child and take time this week to talk to your children about their choice.

Psalms 9:11, “Sing praises to the Lord”,  is our bible verse for the month of April. That is just what we were doing this Sunday in preschool as we trotted around on donkeys and waved palm branches celebrating Palm Sunday with praises and a parade!

(Matthew 21:1-11; Luke 19:28-38)

We continue our lessons this month with the theme, 'Jesus dies and lives again'. Talk to your kids during the week about what they have learned at church and help them to see ways that Jesus shows us He is alive each day. We see new life all around us as the flowers are blooming, the trees and grass are turning a beautiful green and baby frogs are popping out of everywhere! Jesus is there, in a friend’s smile, in a parent’s hug and in a stranger’s helpful gesture. Point out those everyday moments to your child and remind them that all good things are from God and He lives in us today.

Here is a sneak peak at the lessons to come this Easter season:

•         Wednesday April 4^th and Thursday April 5th , 5pm to 7pm,  during “Journey to the Cross” - Preschoolers will be learning about the trials of Jesus by making their own resurrection egg and concocting a salvation trail mix with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and pretzels!
•         Sunday April 8^th, Easter, Jesus Dies and Lives again (Matthew 26-27; John 18-20:20) - The Stone was rolled away and Mary saw Jesus! 
•         April 15^th: Thomas Sees Jesus (Luke 24:36-43, John 20:19-31) - Jesus visited some of his friends. They were glad to see he was alive, but Thomas did not believe that Jesus was alive ...UNTIL he saw him and touched his hands. Now he believes!
•         April 22^{nd -} Jesus Lives Today (Matthew 28:16-20; John 21:1-14; Acts 1:3-11) Jesus tells His friends that He has to go back to heaven, but even though they can’t see Him, He will always be with them in their hearts.

 Make sure every day you wake up knowing that Jesus is in your heart and search for Him in others, too.  Happy Hunting!

God's Spirit Is In You!
This week, we were in the book of Haggai. As the Israelites returned to Jerusalem, they began rebuilding the temple. However, the busy-ness of daily life soon took their focus away from God's work. We must remember that God's presence is in us and with Him we can do all things. Stay focused on God's plan!" Take a look at our video message here: http://vimeo.com/39642260
