Church Easter Celebrations

We went to the church Easter Celebration today. The kids were looking forward to it, but Gracie was most excited. They had talked about it in her Sunday School class.

They did a craft to remind them of the salvation story. Each different colored sugar represents a different part of the story.

Gold represents Jesus' gift of eternal life with Him in Heaven.
he Bible tells us that in Heaven the streets are made of Gold.

Black represents sin.
The Bible says that we have all sinned.

Red represents the blood of Jesus.
The Bible tells us that without the shedding of blook there can be no forgiveness of sin.

White remind us of our clean heart.
By admitting your sins, and believing in Jesus, you will be saved.

Green represents you growing in Christ.
After you receive Christ, you learn more about Him.

Gracie is waiting for the egg hunt with some of her and Alli's friends. She took the whole thing very seriously.

Gracie is in the middle with the blue sweatshirt on and her model-hair flying.

Gracie and Alli had fun. Gracie was eating her candy before she was done hunting! So Gracie. There was a little boy who hadn't found any eggs, so Gracie shared her's with him. She is such a sweet girl.


Mitchell was a little embarrassed to participate - being in 4th grade and all ;) but he was up against 4-6th graders, so it wasn't so bad. He got a lot of eggs.

Britany and Lizzy were volunteers for the event. Such purty sisters!
