Ascension Sunday

The Ascension – Luke 24:50-51

Acts 1:9-11

9 When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

10 While he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them.

11 They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”

Resurrection Eggs – Children’s Story

We may not be meeting together but we can certainly continue on with the Resurrection Eggs Story.  Today is EASTER and this is our last egg.  Look inside the white egg…IT’S EMPTY!!

Are you surprised?  When two women came to the tomb of Jesus, they were surprised.  The heavy stone was rolled aside, and the tomb was empty.  Jesus body was not there.  The angel told them, “He has risen”.  Jesus had come back to life.

This was the promise that Jesus had made to his disciples.  Someday, because he died for us, we can meet Him and thank Him in heaven.

Resurrection Egg – Children’s Story

We may not be meeting together but we can certainly continue on with the Resurrection Eggs Story.  This week we have….

In the dark pink egg…a stone.  The stone that was rolled in front of Jesus’ tomb was much larger than the stone in this egg.  It was as big as a door and probably weighed more than a car!

After Jesus was buried, soldiers were assigned to stand guard at the tomb.  But these men were no match for God’s angel!  It took just one angel to roll the stone away.  Where did the angel get it’s strength?  From GOD.
