Week 1: What We're Learning! 

Hey parents! Take a look at what we're learning this EASTER Weekend!

Important Reminders:
- Eggstravaganza is THIS Saturday!!!

The Cross and the Empty Tomb (Mark 15:13–16:8; Luke 23:26-24:1-9)
Brite Idea: Jesus defeated death! 

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!

Jesus was alive and everything was about to change. Romans 6:23 tells us that the wages of sin is death. Death is the punishment we all deserve because of the things we think, say or do that disobey God. Jesus died for our sins, but He didn’t stay dead. He rose from the dead, defeating death and making a way for us to live forever with Him. When we understand that Jesus is the only way to be forgiven and trust Him as our Savior, we will live forever with Him.

 Monthly Memory Verse: For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
