Here’s what’s coming up in our ministry . . .

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: THE GROW WITH GOD EXPERIENCE

The Easter season is the perfect time for kids to pause and take a moment to reflect on what Jesus has done and how it impacts their lives. No matter where kids are on their own spiritual journeys, this activity is designed to help them discover something new about God.

Throughout your "garden," in The Grow with God Experience, you can help kids experience how meaningful and helpful it can be for them to spend time with God. Kids will walk through the Easter story and practice a few spiritual habits along the way to help encourage their growth.

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: THE EGG-CELLENT EASTER SCRAMBLE

For centuries, eggs have been associated with the Easter season. Some say it's because they represent new life, while others say it is connected to the Lent tradition. To be clear, we are not going to figure this out today—we are just going to have a lot of fun playing with Easter eggs!

The Egg-cellent Easter Scramble is designed to be a station-based activity where kids will compete, create, and celebrate the Easter season together. We are beyond egg-cited for you to crack into this one!

BIG PICTURE: A 5-Week Series from the Gospels on Jesus' Teachings

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Every great movie tells a great story. When we see those stories played out on the big screen, we can learn a little more about ourselves and the world around us. Jesus knew how powerful stories could be, and he made them a big part of how he taught his followers. In this 5-week series, kids will hear some of the stories Jesus shared that can help them see the big picture of a life spent following God. Kids will see that God helps us know what's true, the ways we can give back to God, how God sends us helpers, and how God gives us second chances.
