New Life in Jesus

It's the Sunday after Easter, and we still have two weeks of April left.  Most years, April in the two's room is ALL about the Easter story, Easter crafts, eggs, crosses, tombs, more crosses, lilies...but this year, I thought we'd try something different.

For the first two weeks of March, the two's class learned about St Patrick, and how he used the shamrock to illustrate the idea of the trinity to the Irish people.

The second two weeks of March, and the first two weeks of April were devoted to the story of Jesus' death and resurrection.

Last Sunday was a glorious, beautiful Easter, and we had over 30 children in the Nursery and 2's room!

For the next two weeks, our children will be reading a story called, "New Life in Jesus", which uses a butterfly to illustrate the resurrection. 

So, be looking for butterfly crafts and coloring pages, and remember, if you see a butterfly, remind your child that butterflies remind us of Jesus!

In May, our two year olds will be learning about prayer, with a special craft celebrating mother's on May 13th, Mother's Day!
