GRACEKIDS – Look what they’ve been up to...

Cubbies (Ages 3 – Kinder)

Our Cubbies class enjoyed using flashlights in a lesson that explained how God’s Word is a lamp for our feet and a light on our path. (Psalm 119:105)

Ark Of The Covenant

Our 4 and 5 year-olds learned how God was with His people as they went into the Promised Land and how He held back the water so they could cross the Jordan River. The kids practiced carrying an ark and learned that the ark was a reminder to the Israelites of God’s constant presence. God told Joshua just what to do, and Joshua obeyed Him. When the men took a step into the river, God made the water stop! Then all of God’s people crossed over onto dry ground.

Palm Sunday

In case you missed Palm Sunday, GraceKids did an amazing job celebrating Jesus’ death and resurrection through worship and song. The kids love waving those palm branches! After the first service, families were invited to join their children upstairs for breakfast. In the midst of the chatter, food, and play, Donna Oliva stopped me and encouraged me to pause and take it all in. It was a powerful moment, and I soaked up the beauty of what was happening. Families and individuals were being intentional about connecting with one another – not just sitting with their own kids, but going out of their way to take an interest in others. What a great opportunity to celebrate Jesus and our church family!
