Bottom line:  Whatever happen; remember God loves you.

Lesson:  Son of God Is Not Dead   John 20:1-18

Memory verse:  Romans 5:8  NLT  But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
 
Today we Celebrated Easter!  Jesus is Alive! Every child who attended today went home with a Bible.  We encourage the children to bring them along to Reign Forest each Sunday as we will use them during activities.  We hope the children will also enjoy reading them on their own at home.

​Celebrate!  Jesus is Alive!

This past week in Reign Forest we talked more about Hope. Our Bible lesson was “The Greatest Story Ever Told” – (Crucifixion) from John 18-19.   Our bottom line this month is “Whatever happens, God is still at work.”  We talked about how Hope is believing that something good can come out of something bad.

Our new memory verse for this week is Romans 8:28  And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

We are looking forward to next Sunday as we celebrate the good that came out of the bad in today’s lesson! We hope all of your children can join us for our Easter Celebration! Just a note concerning next Sunday--The Children’s Praise will be joining the Worship Team during the Easter Worship Gathering.

Have a great week!
He is Risen!  Celebrate!!!

Bottom Line: Whatever happens, remember what Jesus promised.
Memory Verse: Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.  John 16;33b NLT

Hello families and friends of Reign Forest!
We wrapped up the month of February with our ongoing theme of COOPERATION.  Last week's lesson was titled "Flip This Church" from Acts 2:42-47.
Bottom Line: Working together can point people to Jesus.
Memory Verse: Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.  John 13:35 NLT
During our small group time, it was awesome to see all the cooperation among all the kids in their various games and crafts. We had a ton of fun building and racing cars in one of our small group stations.  Thank you parents for waiting patiently as we finished our "race" competition! 
Here's a link if you want to create your own family version: PBS Kids.  Have fun racing your car!!!  
Blessings to all,
