What an amazing Easter we have had, our first one in Poatina! Good Friday we headed up to the Arts Center for a Prayer vigil from 6-12pm. The children's time slot was 6-7 were we acted out the some of the Easter story. Hannah ended up playing Jesus.

 The disciples gathered around for the last supper, 

"Jesus" saying how one of them would betray him.

 In the garden praying by himself.

 After seeing Pilot (Paul in this case) Jesus had to carry 

His own cross ready to be crucified.

Then today we were up there again ready for the Easter Sunrise, prayer, story reading, breakie and fellowship with other "villagers" which was truly AWESOME!!!!

So to you all I say Happy Easter! He IS RISEN!! (Just like the wonderful illustration Hannah drew in the church today!!)

Happy Easter!!!
What a glorious day, the day Jesus rose from the dead, conquered sin and gave us the availability to have eternal life with Him!
What a super day we have had!!

I hope that your Easter Sunday has been wonderful in every way and that with all the eggs and bunnies around you've been able to think about the real reason why we celebrate!

Easter time crafts

We have had a lot of fun this week with Easter themed crafts and projects. We wanted to colour some egg shells for a mosaic picture so the children got to work on thinking what natural items could be used to do this.
Grass for green
Orange skins for orange
Onion skins for brown
Beetroot for red
It's soooo fun to see the end result! The grass didn't take too well so we added some green food colouring, I think the best one is the Onion skins, they work a treat!

I hope that as this Easter Saturday ends you are knowing the real meaning of what Easter is all about as tomorrow morning approaches. I know for us the celebration of our Mighty Lord and Saviour and the victory He has given us is awesome!
