Easter Preparations

Check out the following youtube link for the song we will be singing on Sunday as we observe Palm Sunday.  Children will be waving palm branches while singing.  Yes - they can still do the arm motions while holding palm branches for the chorus:
 Who is this King of Glory
The Lord Strong and Mighty


King of Glory by Chris Tomlin

Grace Kids singing King of Glory

PALM BRANCHES - They will be available this coming Sunday following the service for each family.  Each child in the family may take a palm branch home with them.  Check out the following link for directions on how to make a cross with the palm branch.  

Walk His Ways Lent Lessons - The concluding Lent lesson was this past Sunday when children listened to the parable of the lost coin (Luke 15:8-10).  We discussed the questions:  Do we ever get lost from God?  Does He lose us or do we lose him?  How do we find God?   Then each child made a prayer cube.  We talked to the children about why we pray.  Please encourage your children to use their prayer cubes as a reminder for daily prayer.  We made simple cubes where they wrote the letters P, R, A, Y around the cube and then added a cross or heart on the top and bottom along with their names. 


Before the lesson the children all had a chance to share prayer requests and add to a large poster titled PRAY.  I wanted to share some of their responses:  heal boo boos, patience, thank you, sick people to get better, forgiveness, happiness, meet goals, to be good, health, and family.
