New Series
Willows Kids will start their Easter Series on the 22nd of March. The title is 'Breaking News."
Big Idea: Every night people tune into the evening news to hear the latest, breaking news from around the world. But no story is more important than the story of Jesus’ resurrection. Although it happened 2,000 years ago, it’s still the all-time top story.
Memory Verse: “He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” -Mark 16:15 (NIV)
Lessons:
22 March: Top Story – “Our top story tonight.” God loves us so much that he sent his son to die for us. Matthew 26:36-56, Jesus Arrested
29 March: Breaking News – “We interrupt your regular program for this breaking news.” Jesus did the unthinkable, suffering the death that we deserved, so that we could be forgiven of our sins. Matthew 27:45-54, The Death of Jesus
5 April (Easter Sunday): Live On The Scene – “We take you now, live on the scene.” The women went to the tomb expecting to see a dead body. Instead, they found Jesus, alive with resurrection power. Matthew 28:1-10, The Resurrection
19 April: Man On The Street – “Let’s hear what people are saying from our man on the street.” The good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection is too great to keep to ourselves. Jesus wants us to go throughout the world, telling others about him. Matthew 28:16-20, The Great Commission
