  • Kids Korner: Ascension (May 12th)

    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. Then they started getting used to Jesus’s visits. He only visited his closest friends, however, Jesus didn’t teach anything to new followers after Easter morning. This week…

    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…

    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…

    Jesus tells his followers what comes next John 10 11  I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd gives up his life for his sheep. 12 Hired workers are not like the shepherd. They don’t own the sheep, and when they see a wolf coming, they run off and leave the sheep. Then the wolf attacks and…

  • Kids Korner: Good Shepherd (April 21st)

    Read John 10:11-18 with your family. Sometimes it is very hard for adults to understand the lessons God is trying to teach us. Kids have an easier time understanding God (which should mean that adults listen more to kids, but sadly that doesn’t happen). It was difficult for adults to understand in Jesus’ time as…

    Jesus tells his followers what comes next Luke 24 36 While Jesus’ disciples were talking about what had happened, Jesus appeared and greeted them. 37 They were frightened and terrified because they thought they were seeing a ghost. 38 But Jesus said, “Why are you so frightened? Why do you doubt? 39 Look at my hands and my feet and see who…

  • Kids Korner: I told you this would happen (April 14th)

    Read Luke 24:36-48 with your family. This is about as close to an “I told you so” as Jesus got with his followers. He tried to tell them along the way, three times in fact, but they just could not hear it. Really, it is no surprise. Hearing your friend is going to be beaten…

    Jesus and Thomas John 20  19 The disciples were afraid of the Jewish leaders, and on the evening of that same Sunday they locked themselves in a room. Suddenly, Jesus appeared in the middle of the group. He greeted them 20 and showed them his hands and his side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they became very…
