Just a reminder that our small groups that meet at 9:15 will not be meeting this Sunday, April 24th. We will be having childcare for Birth-Kindergarten for all three Awakening Worship Services.
The 3 year olds - Kindergarten will have the opportunity to meet for Wee Worship at all three services. Our services will be Saturday April 23rd at 7pm, Sunday April 24th at 8am and 10am.
Along with our Bible story in Wee Worship, your precious little ones will crack open the miracle of Easter with Resurrection Eggs. Each egg will represent a piece of Jesus’ journey to the cross and beyond. This will certainly be a time your child will never forget as they watch Easter come alive in their little hands! I have attached a copy of how to make the Resurrection Eggs below. You can also buy the eggs at Lifeway but I think its more fun and less expensive if you make your own.

Bible Story: Jesus is Alive! John 20:1-18
Early in the morning, Mary walked to the edge of town. She was very sad because Jesus had died on a cross. She was going to the garden to see the tomb where He had been buried.
When Mary arrived at the tomb, the big heavy stone had been rolled away from the door. Mary ran from the tomb. She found Peter and John. Mary said, "Jesus is not in the tomb! I don't know where they have taken Him."
Peter and John could hardly believe what Mary was saying. They hurried back to the tomb with Mary. They looked inside, but they did not see Jesus anywhere! So the two men went home. But Mary stayed nearby, crying. "Why are you crying?" she heard someone ask. "For whom are you looking?"
Mary did not know that the man speaking to her was Jesus. Then He spoke her name. "Mary," He said. Mary knew that the man was Jesus! Jesus was standing right there, close enough to touch. Jesus told Mary to go tell His helpers that she had seen Him. Mary rushed to tell Jesus' helpers that she had seen Jesus and that He was alive!
