Week 32: As we enter Holy Week...

...things look a little different, but the events remain the same:

 

   Sunday, we see Jesus declaring himself not only our King, but the promised Messiah.  On Maundy Thursday we see the remarkable transformation of the Passover into Holy Communion - Jesus himself became our saving Lamb of sacrifice.  Honor the Good Friday on which Christ died for our sins and the temple veil was torn in two - the separation that sin had caused between us and our Lord is no more.  And finally the glorious day of resurrection, EASTER, when we celebrate our victory in Christ over sin, death and the devil.  There is nothing we could ever do to deserve this love.  What a wonderful opportunity we have before us to learn and grow in our faith - to praise and thank God for this glorious gift!!,

E-Learning - How's it going for you?

I love connecting with your children - seeing their faces on hangouts and reading their  journals.  How are you??? Please take 5 minutes to complete a quick feedback survey for Ms. Preusser and me.  We want to find the best ways to support you and your family! https://forms.gle/iAKgsUWcn62MoBX99

 

 

BIG NEWS -  Pastor Hoehnor, will lead our class in a LiveStream religion class on WEDNESDAY - 4/8 at 10:00.  He will be using Facebook Live.  Kids will need to be on a parent  facebook account and to "like" Chapel of the Cross's FB page.   Please get set up this weekend and set your alarms.  I am still waiting to be sure I have the correct location of the broadcast before I send a link.  I am so excited that the Zion pastor's and Asher's dad have been able to help lead us through Holy Week.   

Our classroom is so empty without you!!
