Happy Easter!

We began our Lenten Journey on  Ash Wednesday, February 14th. We talked about showing God's love and sang our Lenten prayer:

This is Lent

(to the tune of Frère Jacques)

Prayer, fasting and almsgiving,

We are meant to repent!

40 days of sacrifice,

Being super extra-nice!

This is Lent!

This is Lent!

As Holy Week approached, we talked about "carrying our cross." This means we must do the right thing even though it is difficult. Difficult things for our students are cleaning up our toys and cleaning up our bedrooms or classroom.

During Holy Week, we walked with Jesus from Palm Sunday to Holy Thursday, to Good Friday, to Easter Sunday, reading stories, watching videos and praying the Jelly Bean Prayer:

Red is for the blood He gave.

Green is for the grass He made.

Yellow is for the sun so bright.

Orange is for the edge of night.

Black is for the sins we made.

White is for the grace He gave.

Purple is for the hour of sorrow.

Pink is for our new tomorrow.

We re-enacted Palm Sunday and the Last Supper. For our Last Supper we ate nut-free pita bread and drank grape juice. Kai read the story and Ben took the part of Jesus.

Our students prayerfully pondered Jesus' death on the Cross and asked many questions. They were eager to learn about the Good News that He has died and risen again!

We wish you a joyous Easter weekend 

filled with the many blessings of friends and family!
