Family TALK March 1

View this email in your browser We want to partner with you in creating a gospel-centered foundation.  So we send out this E-newsletter on a weekly basis to keep you in the "Know" with what is happening in the Children's Ministry of  Immanuel. Feel free to respond back with questions or suggestions.  If you would like to be removed from this list let us know that as well. Because children think concretely, they understand Easter in vivid, literal images. They may understand that God brought Jesus back to life in a literal way, but from that point on, the account and its big-picture impact can get abstract.   What does it mean that Jesus sacrificed himself for us? Why did he have to do that? For Jesus' sacrifice to make sense, children must know about sin—theirs and everyone else's. When kids realize they can't do anything to save themselves from that sin, they gain a greater appreciation of Jesus' suffering and death for the whole world's sins. Out of gratitude, kids also can make their own sacrifices to Jesus as they dedicate their lives to him. Use the ideas in this months newsletter to prepare hearts and focus minds this Easter. click here for a copy of the newsletter "Easter is a celebration of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But how many children know why Jesus died and came to life again? This illustrated devotional contains 28 lessons—one for each day of the four weeks leading up to Easter—in a short, focused format designed to help parents show the Christ of Easter to their children".  Each lesson features, bible review, questions, songs and story pictures.   This is a favorite of the Faris family! Fun for the whole family!  Races for kids of all ages, prizes for speed and design, and snacks available for purchase.   RACE IS IN 2 WEEKS!!   Open Track - March 13, 7:00pm to 8:00pm Race Day - March 14, 7:30 to noon   Click on Derby flyer for details or contact Steve King (616) 399-6287   THE RACE IS ON Pastor, David Faris Children's Ministry  |  dave@immanuel.cc  |  Immanuel Church     cell:  616-335-1296  |  office:  616-392-1814 unsubscribe from this list    update subscription preferences
