    Jesus and Nicodemus John 3 There was a man named Nicodemus who was a Pharisee and a Jewish leader. 2 One night he went to Jesus and said, “Rabbi, we know that God has sent you to teach us. You could not work these miracles, unless God were with you.” 3 Jesus replied, “I tell you for certain that…

  • Kids Korner: Trinity Sunday (May 26th)

    Read John 3:1-17 with your family. The Sunday after Pentecost every year is called Trinity Sunday. That is the day we stop to think about how we as Christians understand our relationship with God. The early Greek Christians wanted to explain everything. The Hebrew Christians were happy with seeing God in social action and including…

    Welcoming 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…

  • Kids Korner: Pentecost (May 19th)

    Read Acts 2:1-21 with your family. The day of Pentecost is a celebration for our faith community. It is the day we know the Holy Spirit came to the people. The early followers of Jesus didn’t have him in his human body to follow and talk with anymore. What they had instead was the energy…

    Saying goodbye Luke 24 44 Jesus said to them, “While I was still with you, I told you that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Books of the Prophets, and in the Psalms had to happen.” 45 Then he helped them understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them: The Scriptures say that the Messiah must suffer,…

    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.

    Love on another John 15 9 I have loved you, just as my Father has loved me. So remain faithful to my love for you. 10 If you obey me, I will keep loving you, just as my Father keeps loving me, because I have obeyed him. 11 I have told you this to make you as completely happy…

  • Kids Korner: Love, that’s it, that’s all (May 5th)

    Read John 15:9-17 with your family. It is easy to think of church as a building where we pray and sing, and probably get bored. But when Jesus and his followers were travelling around Galilee and Judea, there were no church buildings or regular worship plans that induced singing and prayers and sermons like we…

  • Sunday Reflection – April 28, 2024

    Abide in love John 10 Jesus said to his disciples: I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts away every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit. But he trims clean every branch that does produce fruit, so that it will produce even more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of what…

  • Kids Korner: Be patient with each other (April 28th)

    Read John 15:1-8 with your family. The passage from this week has the word “abide” in it an awful lot. Abide is a ‘churchy’ word, and sometimes when we hear words like that we don’t stop to think about them for long. Abide means to stick with someone, to wait, to endure, to put up…
