Easter Family Service

So I can barely contain my excitement for next week! Do you know what I'm looking forward to?
One of my three favorite holidays is this coming Sunday and OC kids are ministering in our Raster Family Service! You do not want to miss it! Sunday, April 24th @10AM.

We just had our special kids church Easter service which, focused on remembering Jesus. Reminding the kids, leaders & myself why Easter is the most humbling, amazing, love filled holiday. From helping me tell the Easter story to nailing their names to the cross & having communion together, I saw kids have a deeper understanding of the love & sacrifice. Our kids are really tender and growing I can see every week. This week was no exception.

One of the kids said after service yesterday, "I cried when you told me I was the reason Jesus died on the cross. I'm that special? Wow! No wonder you always say God loves me & has a plan for me. Hey, next week we get to tell all the people in church that God did that for them, huh?" Tears welled up in my eyes as I said you are so right. I told him I cry when I am reminded how much God loves me too!

Wow! That's what it's about right?
Love those OC kids! God help me disciple, mentor and pour myself into their lives for you!
