This Sunday

Bible

God-sized Questions
"Why did Jesus have to die?"

_______________>

John 1:29

"The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"


_______________>

Palm Sunday

What's all this Palm Sunday, Good Friday, dying on a cross stuff about anyway?  Why did Jesus have to die?  And why is He called the Lamb of God?

5th Sunday on the 1st Saturday

Saturday, April 4

DON'T FORGET!

This Saturday, April 4, is the rescheduled date for our first 5th Sunday! 

The forecast is sunny and 50 degrees so it should be a great day to be outside! 

We will meet in the high school parking lot at 9am and will caravan over to Rossman Park (at Marshall and 5th St.) to do some raking and general spring clean up.  We'll plan on working until around noon or so.

Bring a picnic lunch for after so we have a good excuse to hang out and talk afterwards.

It's BOYR (bring your own rake!) so if ya got 'em, bring 'em!  We will have some extras if you don't have a rake.

Everyone is welcome!

Bridge Kids
KidMo
Bridge Kids (K-4th grades) are still looking for another teacher (or two) and some more helpers on Sunday mornings. 

The curriculum is great!  Just come in Sunday morning and get your detailed lesson plan that tells you exactly what the lesson is and what the teaching points are.  Enjoy the exciting, funny, informative and interactive multimedia DVD's for the Bible lesson. 

Afterward use the "Q-Cards" with discussion questions to lead the kids into a deeper understanding and application of what they learned that day.  All this with no preparation necessary earlier in the week! 

If you're interested in loving kids as a teacher or helper on Sunday mornings contact Roger at roger@crossingtogether.com.
