TRAPPED IN A ROCK Several years ago on an Easter Sunday we were out in the parking lot after church when my three-year-old nephew was asked by his mom if he had learned the meaning of Easter in Sunday School. After answering with a simple, "Yes," my sister tried to probe a little deeper and asked, "can you tell us what happened on Easter?" My nephew replied matter-of-factly, "Jesus was trapped in a rock, but he got out!" Even a three-year-old can grasp the simple truth that Jesus can do the impossible, whether it be escaping from a big rock or rising from the dead! He can even help overcome any "rocks" in your life. No matter how big the rock, it's just a pebble to Jesus!

LET'S TALK EGG HUNTS
Easter is a time when egg hunts become a popular event. Whether you are planning one indoors, outdoors, or some other version, hop over to the Kidology Network Forums and jump in on the conversation. Just make sure you have enough little plastic eggs. Of course, if you don't, we can probably help you with that too.
SHARE YOUR EASTER PLANS Kidology Network Forums member JoanS3342334 shares this comment: "Every year I enjoy reading what everyone else has planned for Easter. Care to share what you are doing in your church this year?" Are you doing the same thing this Easter or trying something new? Why not tell everyone about it?
