Children’s Story
I have a wondering question for you. I wonder what you do when you play. Do you think Jesus played? The painters of these pictures did.
When you go out to church school some of you go to the Godly Play classroom. Your storyteller tells you a bible story with the baskets or parable boxes and then you get to respond with your sacred work. No one tells you what to do, you choose what to use to help you remember the stories.
What are some of your options for responding to the story?
You can retell a sacred or parable story, paint, draw and make clay sculptures. You may run your hands through sand or follow the finger labyrinth while you think about the story.
You may go to the book shelf and choose a story there. What you use is not as important as what helps you remember.
Ask someone to read you a story from the bible, or read one yourself and then use what you have at home to do your work, sacred work that will help you remember the story. Remember your Godly Play is serious work!
AND DON’T FORGET TO PRAY.

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.
The One They Call the King
Winter ending promised light but now we know the dark of night
To test our faith, test our might
To make it through the Spring
Just days ago he entered town palms and praises on the ground
Loud Hosannahs they did sound
For the one they called the King.
Chorus:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, your love and praises bring
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, for the one they called the King
Pontius said in a coward’s voice “Pick the one, make my choice
The thief will live, the other die
The one they call the King”
“Stuck on a cross his history a prophet shamed for Eternity
This Son of God will bow to me
The one they call the King”
Hallelujah chorus
His body taken from the wooden frame draped in cloth, robed in shame
Placed in a dark and lowly cave
The one they called the King
Soon days will pass his promise kept
His true disciples frightened yet will feel the power from on high
The one they called the King
Hallelujah chorus
As we live in fear we can’t forget He is Risen now, his promise kept
Our Lord, Our Saviour will not let
Us suffer more than He
Hold to the promise that he brings this Easter time our praises sing
Our faith our strength through the Son of God
The one we call the King
Hallelujah chorus
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, your love and praises bring
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, for the one we call the King
For the one we call the King.
