It's About the Cross!

Image
During Sunday School we are talking about the cross. What you think of when you see a cross? For believers, the cross is the most common symbol. We see crosses on steeples. We see crosses on the front of our Bibles. We see crosses on jewelry. We see crosses in home decor stores. We see crosses on walls in homes. So, why is this image in so many of our spaces and on our objects? Let’s look at what Paul writes to the Corinthian church about the cross.  1 Corinthians 1:18 The cross is not just a symbol of the power of God;  it IS the power of God. Without the cross, we would not have salvation. Without the cross, we would still have the weight of our sin. Without the cross, we would not know a Savior who defeated death. Without the cross, we would not know the deep love of the one true God who desires to have a relationship with us.

Lent Journey…Prayer. What does a pretzel have to do with helping us with our prayers?

  Today we explored how to pray!    Dr. Horn used the 5 fingers to help us remember what we can pray for.    God wants to be our friend.    He wants us to talk to him like we would talk to our friends at school!       During our Sunday school time we went to several different stations to learn how to pray for different things.    Write a worry on a rock/shell and give it to God by placing in the basket. Praise!    Write why you love God. In this next prayer station, students had to sit quietly and be still.    That is a hard one, but we sure did a great job listening to what God may be speaking to our hearts. Take a post it and write something you may need forgiveness.
