We will be filling plastic eggs for the Sunday School Children. Christian Ed. is asking the congregation for donations of rolls of nickels/dimes, small prizes, or bags
of individually wrapped candy to fill the eggs. Your donations can be placed in the container provided in the church office. Thanks for your help with this project!
The offerings from both Sunday School and Adult Bible Class for January – March will be going to God’s Resort in Joplin. This is a Christ-centered and relationship-based transitional housing community exclusively for people seeking the love and support of the body of Christ.
After several Sundays of Christmas Program practice and other fun activities, the Sunday School classes are back to their regular lessons. The lessons for the rest of the winter quarter will focus on how “Jesus Saves the World”. The Sunday School Children will sing in church on Sunday, March 1. They would like to share with the congregation some of the songs they have been working on during the Sunday School hour.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Sunday School as we study God’s word together. If you would be interested in teaching a Sunday School class or would like to be on our substitute list, please contact Kayla H.
At Celebrate the Savior VBS, children look into the Bible, God’s Word, and discover that Jesus gives us the joy of eternal life with Him! Our loving God has given us so much to celebrate—family, friends, food, and especially forgiveness through faith in Jesus, our Savior. As kids explore five key events in the life of Jesus, they will discover how the love of Jesus fills us with joy.
■ Wise Men from the East followed a special star to the place where Jesus was born. Filled with joy, they bowed down to worship Jesus and offered Him gifts.
■ Four friends brought a man to Jesus for healing. Jesus, our best Friend, amazed everyone by healing both his body and his heart!
■ The disciples didn’t know how they would feed the crowd. Jesus showed that He provides for all our needs, both for this life and for life eternal.
■ When Jesus died, His friends were filled with sadness. Then Jesus rose, and their sadness turned into joy! Jesus saves us, giving us hope and new life!
■ Jesus’ followers couldn’t see why He had to die. After He rose, He opened their eyes to see how He had overcome sin and death. His love gives us joy!
At the center of every story is the message that God has come to save us. Every aspect of Jesus’ life leads, in some way, to our salvation. We are looking forward to spending time with the kids this summer as we Celebrate the Savior, Jesus!
