This past weekend the kids were asked to lead us in worship. They were called forward as Chris engaged them in conversation, offering us their clear, pure insight. They then read the reading which engaged us in scripture for the week & asked us to viewe the stop action video they had worked on during Lent. Towards the end of the service children served communion and the 4th-6th grade class read the benediction that they wrote the week prior in class.

He had a beard, like pretty much all of the Beatles.
He had white clothes.
He was sad, because he wanted to go to Heaven.
He was excited to celebrate with the people.
He was happy to be among the souls that God created.

These images were created by our children during Lent.
They used figures, cloth, paper, and their imaginations at our "Media Station" to reflect on & create pictures of Jesus as he journeyed to the cross.
They also occasionally captured images of other stations, children & volunteers.
As they worked the children were asked to imagine the scene and how Jesus must have felt and think of a time where they felt similarly. The kids were reminded that when they feel that way, Jesus will help them.
