Celebrating Spring

It happens every year about this time...spring fever. The weather is warmer, and the kids all want to be outside playing. They're counting the days until Easter when baskets will overflow with candy and treats. But in chapel and in the classroom, they're learning what Eastertime really means to us as Christians. 

"One, two, three, Jesus is alive.

One, two, three, Jesus is alive.

He died for you and me

And on Day Three

Jesus rose again.

Jesus is alive."

Springtime brings the wonders of new life. The class has been eagerly observing the process of metamorphosis as five caterpillars transform into butterflies. They're learning, too, that God can change our lives.  His Holy Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, too, (woohoo!), gentleness, and self-control. (We've got Spirit, how 'bout you?)

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." II Corinthians 5:17

What do you do when a springtime storm is approaching and meteorologists are forecasting 50-60 mile per hour wind gusts? Why, you hurry to the football field to fly a kite!

  And, of course, we always love to celebrate birthdays.
