Well done Garth!

EXPERIENCE EASTER 2013

Anne helps the children understand the mood of the people in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday
and Glyn leads the children with their hopes and dreams

Servant King. The children learnt how Jesus was both.

The Garden of Gethsemane. The children add their own words to the feelings of Jesus alone in the garden.

The Cross! Pauline showed the horror of the cross
and what it means when we say that
Jesus shares our sorrows.

The Tomb.
Hilary explains the feelings of Mary, John and Peter as they arrived at the empty tomb. The children experienced the meaning of the empty tomb and the new life we have in the Risen Lord.
