I hope you're getting excited about Awakening! I can't wait! This season change is one of my favorite times of the year. Katie, Carter, and I have already taken advantage of the change to go for walks in the park and do some hiking. I know many of you are spending your Saturday's at the park with soccer, baseball, and softball. That is a great place to notice what God is doing around you and begin to bring up Easter. Once as a kid, my family went for a hike around a lake. While on the hike my dad, a former 4H leader and agriculture teacher, would stop and ask us to name a certain type of tree or flower. My brother and I had no clue what those plants were, but what dad did do is o pen our eyes up to what was around us. In the spring, God transforms the dormant of creation into the vibrant creation. It's as if the world has awakened. This is what Christ Jesus has done for those who place their faith in Him. We go from having no hope to having the hope of an eternity with God. Our lives become vibrant through faith in his sacrifice. Use this season change to start a conversation.
This week we have no connect groups or Kidstuf worship; however, I do want to put a few resources in your hands. I hope these are helpful to you and your kids.
