Crossways Club learns that HE LIVES!

Crossways Club has been held this week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at St Mary's Hall. Lots of excited children came along for stories, songs and crafts, and of course fun! Here are some of the crafts that the children made at Crossways. They also had some fun with a parachute. The stories told of what happened to Jesus from Palm Sunday through the week to Good Friday, and then on to Easter Sunday.
During that momentous week, people were gathering in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of the Passover. Jesus and his disciples were no exception. He explained that He was going to leave them soon, meaning He would be betrayed, arrested and hung on the cross to die (Good Friday). God had sent Him to show us how God wants us to live. Then He must die to take all our sins and evildoings upon Himself, so that we could have a new life free of sin and be able to communicate with God, who loves us all.
The Good News is that He didn't just die, He came back to life within three days (Easter Sunday) and is alive forevermore!
