April Lessons for Wee Praise

Here they are everyone, the lessons for April!

Wee Praise Overview for April 2009: The theme for the month is that “Jesus & His Friends Show His Love”. Week One starts with the encounter with Zacchaeus, illustrating that Jesus loves everyone, all the time. Then on Easter Sunday (4/12) we will celebrate that JESUS LIVES!!! Week Three will be the story of Phillip and the Ethiopian Eunuch, illustrating that Jesus’ friends showed their love by going to the whole world to tell them of Jesus. Then the last week we will have look at the end of Revelation where Jesus returns to take His followers to be with Him in heaven.

MEMORY VERSE: I John 4:7
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.”

Help needed due to 360 success!

Hello again, everyone! The new 360 service was a tremendous success last week in bringing in folks to worship. And when they came, they also brought their children!! We had 37+ in Wee Praise second service, and were overflowing with children, even with it being a Spring Break Sunday. We have enough three’s, four’s and five’s to have two classes of each age! That means we need about a dozen workers to staff our Wee Praise in second service.

I’m trying to get an early jump on things this week. Please reply back ASAP to let me know if you can or cannot help. We are doing Our Lord’s work and I hope that we can do our best for our children!
