Day 12: Celebrating Easter

     Today we took a little rest from all of the wonderful fundraising to celebrate Easter.  We had an Easter egg hunt, played with some wonderful sparkly playdough, made an Easter bunny, and decorated sugar cookies.  
     Later we sat down for "Circle Time" and talked about what is really important about Easter.  It isn't the meal, the Easter eggs or baskets, the new Sunday clothes, or even gathering with friends.  It is about the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf.  He was ridiculed, spat on, and hung on a cross to take the punishment for our sins.  Three days later He rose from the grave and ascended into heaven.  Through
His death and resurrection and our acceptance of this precious gift, we have new life.
     Happy Easter, everyone!
