I pray everyone enjoyed the songs and the skit that the Sparklers (preschool) and Sonlight (elementary) ministry kids performed this Resurrection Sunday. Every year the kids have some kind of performance. Usually it’s a simple song with body worship. But this year, I was hoping to step up the standard for our Children’s Ministry so I suggested to the staff a skit that portrays the gospel message, particularly highlighting the cross and the resurrection. We agreed, and what was produced was what you saw Resurrection Sunday.

The staff and the children took the past several Sundays to practice for this performance. It was challenging to work with the kids on this, but it was also a great opportunity to talk with the kids about the content of what they were practicing for, the cross and the resurrection. We hope that all we do in the Children’s Ministry would be centered on the core and essential aspects of the gospel. This is the message they need to hear, understand, and we pray would believe (place their complete faith in).
