In this five-week series, kids will explore the storiesleading up to and following Easter Sunday. Together, they’ll discover we can stick with Jesus even when our days are dark and that because Jesus is alive, we can spend our days meeting with him, trusting he’s there for us, and sharing his love — not just today, but every day!
