Ellie's Weekly Newsletter. 13 April 2014

Palm Sunday marks Jesus' entry into Jerusalem to begin his last week on earth.  It was a joyous day for many, but it became a week of dismay, rejection, betrayal, suffering, and death for Jesus.  We will learn about these days this week, with the joyous big picture of Resurrection that followed.  We celebrated Palm Sunday early on Friday.

As part of Holy Week, we will begin each day with a chapel gathering.  On Tuesday we will be going to big kid chapel which begins at 8:30.

This week's activities and lessons will have egg, cross, and jelly bean themes.  Our big word of the week (besides Resurrection!) will be  oviparous.

On Thursday's Easter celebration we will enjoy scrambled eggs ( from those we blew out).  We will also prepare Ressurection rolls- look for the recipe.

Friday I shared with the little ones, some upcoming events.  They MAY have gotten confused on the dates!  The events are SWIM SUIT DAY (Friday, April 25) and PET DAY (Friday, May 9).  More info to follow after Easter!

May each of you have a most blessed holiday!
