May 12 is our final Vertical Challenge for the year.  To celebrate how hard the kids (and leaders!) have worked all year, we will be having an ice cream party on May 12!

Kids: you don’t need to bring anything.  Just make sure you have your verse memorized for this week, and have figured out our unscrambled word.

Leader: Please bring an ice cream topping to share.  I will bring the ice cream and utensils.

Next week we do NOT have Vertical Challenge.  But I challenge you to come to our Christian Passover Seder next Thursday, 7:00pm. The night that Jesus was betrayed and arrested, he celebrated Passover with his disciples.  We know this as the time when Jesus introduced the Lord’s Supper.  But what was (is) the importance of this Passover meal?  Why did they celebrate Passover?  How can celebrating it help us to understand Jesus better?  Join us to discover!
