Resurrection Celebration - April 8 2012

What a great day we had in the house of the Lord on Easter Sunday or as we like to call it...Resurrection Sunday! There were a total of 185 children who came to our Fellowship Center at either the 8:30 am, 10:30 am or 12:30 pm services. This year we changed things up a bit so that our kids would see a new approach to the Easter celebration. We did something called a "Walk through the Bible!" After we did some fun songs and Grandpa Lou paid a visit, our kids were given "map cards" and then headed to the very first "station" where Mary and Joseph shared with them about baby Jesus. The other stations were bible characters in this order.

1. The Disciples

2. Blind Bartimaeus

3. A Pharisee

4. A Roman soldier

After the Roman soldier shared, Pastor Dave shared a brief message all about the cross. Many hands went up after the message. It was so awesome to see all the children who gave their hearts to Jesus for the very first time!!

PRE-SCHOOL EASTER EGG HUNT - April 7 2012

After a 1 week delay of our egg hunt due to rain, we were finally able to hide our Easter eggs for our pre-schoolers on April 7th...one day befroe Resurrection Sunday. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day! 28 3-5 year old along with parents and grandparents came ready to have a blast! Our kids colored and had a snack in our pre-school room then it was off to the starting line for the start of our egg hunt. Each child got to pick 20 eggs. Our morning ended in our auditorium as Pastor Dave told a story and presented the gospel with his salvation bag. The kids also got to see Tiki the Toucan, Sonkist and Shelton the Shark! It was a great event and we look forward to our next egg hunt which will be March 23, 2013!
