March 25, Lent Sunday #5

The elementary students learned to knit with sheep's wool. Knitting with sheep's wool is a reminder of the Good Shepherd and the 23rd Psalm. It also teaches us how to use the earth's renewable resources responsibly.

Wisdom From the Children:

During the children's sermon, Pastor Ken asked, "What does 'In God We Trust' mean?"
Three year old Dylan responded, "God loves everybody."

Nursery


Sunday School Lesson
"The Mystery of Life and Death"
  • John 12:24 "Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."
  • What happens when we plant a seed? Does it die? Does it rise to life?
  • Did you know that a single seed produces many, many more seeds from the plant it grows?
  • Like Jesus, seeds die and are buried, but they come to life after just a few days in the ground. This risen life--a big plant-- is even more beautiful than the seed life before.

Sunday School Lesson
"The Mystery of Life and Death"
  • John 12:24 "Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."
  • Risen life comes only after death. Think about this short parable. What does it mean for a seed? What does it mean for us? What does it tell us about life? About death?
