HAPPY EASTER! Woodland Kids celebrated by having an Empty Tomb hunt! They were so precious gathering their treats (although it was cold). Parents would have been very proud of their kids sharing and helping each other out. Then they went back to their rooms to see what they got. One child from each class who found the Empty Tomb although they were sad it was empty the joy on their face came when they got to trade their empty tomb for the big prize. It was a great visual lesson to go with today’s Bible story…
After His arrest, Jesus was led away and put on trial by religious and political officials. Even though He had done nothing wrong, Jesus was beaten, mocked, and sentenced to die on the cross. Jesus was crucified in between two thieves. One made fun of Him. After Jesus died, He was buried in a tomb. When some of His followers returned on the first day of the week, they were shocked to find an empty tomb. Angels said, "He is not here! He is risen!" Jesus defeated death! 🙌 Hallelujah!!!
