  • Kids Korner: One God (June 15th)

    Read John 16:12-15 with your family. John can often be a very difficult Gospel to understand, that is why we do not talk about it a lot. But all of John can be summed up by saying God loves us, and all of us who choose to do as Jesus asked us to do –…

    The Holy Spirit Acts 2 On the day of Pentecost all the Lord’s followers were together in one place. 2 Suddenly there was a noise from heaven like the sound of a mighty wind! It filled the house where they were meeting. 3 Then they saw what looked like fiery tongues moving in all directions, and a tongue came and settled…

  • Kids Korner: Filled with fire (June 8th)

    Read Acts 2:1-21 with your family. As Christians we believe that God shows us love in three different forms. First as a parent (God the father) who loves us, takes care of us, and tells us when we need to change our behaviour. Then as a brother (God the son, Jesus) who laughs with us,…

  • Kids Korner: Jesus leaves (June 1st)

    Read Luke 24:44-53 with your family. Remember back to Good Friday, how sad everyone was that Jesus had died? Jesus came back Easter morning and everyone was shocked.

  • Kids Korner: Do you want to be healed? (May 25th)

    Read John 5:1-9 with your family. Everyone wants to be healed, right? Everyone wants to be made better and to not be sick or not have body parts that do not work like everyone else, right? It seems a strange question. Of course everyone wants a strong, healthy body. That is what we all think.…

    Love is love is love John 13 31 After Judas had gone, Jesus said: Now the Son of Man will be given glory, and he will bring glory to God. 32 Then, after God is given glory because of him, God will bring glory to him, and God will do it very soon. 33  My children, I will be…

  • Kids Korner: Love… that’s all (May 18th)

    Read John 13:31-35 with your family. Jesus talked a lot about love. When we think about love it is usually love for our family and romantic love, but in Jesus’ world, there were a lot of different words for love. In Greek, the language of the Christian Scriptures, there were seven different words for love.…
