Stations of the Cross-Preparing for our Holy Week


Crenshaw Kids give what they have to give and pray that it is used for God's glory.   Thank you to these little ones who always volunteer eagerly to pray.




During our Sunday School time this week we prepare for Holy Week.   We traveled through stations to get a visual understanding of the week before Jesus was crucified on the cross.




The stations will continue to be on display until the Saturday before Easter Sunday.   If you could not make it on Sunday, feel free to visit anytime during the week or after church on Sunday.

The triumphal entry...




Jesus cleanses the temple...





Mary anoints Jesus with oil...







The children got to smell lavender soap and cotton balls dipped in oils.    






Judas received 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus...


Jesus serving the disciples by washing their feet and having a meal together...














Jesus prays in the garden of Gethsemane...










The soldiers arrest Jesus....






Peter denies knowing Jesus....we sometimes do not claim to know a friend or even Jesus....forgive us...





















The crown of thorns, the cross, the vinegar and the nails...


Children placed a tooth pick in the crown to represent the thorns...



Children took turns putting a small nail in the wooden cross.   Then we saw a very large nail and the faces were very saddened.











The empty tomb!!    Hallelujah, He is Risen!!     





Amen and amen...







Thank you to Bentley for helping to take our offering today.  Today was the first day of serving for Bentley.   
  God loves His children and asks them to come to Him.    It amazes me every single day that the littlest and youngest are willing to serve our Almighty Lord!

Calling all prayer warriors! As you pray today, please remember Ashleigh. Mark 11:24

Crenshaw Kids and families please keep our Ashleigh in your prayers.  Ashleigh was admitted into Children's Hospital at Richmond,  VCU on October 17.  Ashleigh joined us a few months ago in Sunday School and she needs our voices.   Ashleigh is in the 6th grade at Kenston and loves music and drama, cheering and just enjoys life with friends all the time! From Mom yesterday: Update on Ashleigh she is still dealing with pressure on her brain which is still causing a lot of things going on with her body. She is still having issues with talking and seems to be favoring her right side more than left side. She has had some occupational therapy and physical therapy should be in here today. The neurologist said that they will keep her on the medication for the pressure a couple of more days and may possibly have to do another mri at the end of the week to see how things are doing. We are seeing very small improvements and are taking things day to day right now. She hasn’t had anymore fever

“Snowbody” loves YOU like JESUS party! Isaiah 1:18. 100 plus Kids, teens and adults enjoyed June 14th fun!

Just like God can make a beautiful snowflake out of a speck of dust, He can make something beautiful out of us too when we go to Him for forgiveness and ask Him to cover our sins white as snow! “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”   Isaiah 1:18 Is that automatic?  No…we have to choose and be willing to take a bath or shower to get clean, don’t we?  It doesn’t just happen like an automatic human car wash! 1 John 1:9 says  “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” This means we have to ask; we have to admit we are wrong and we need God to make us right and clean.  When we do, He promises to forgive us and purify or cleanse us. When the snow falls, it covers things; it covers the ground, the leaves on the trees, our roofs and our cars.  Then everything looks white! Well, God
