KID NEWS
CURRENT SERIES
RISEN // 0-5th Grade // 9 & 10:30 AM // ENTER DOOR 7
Sin brings death, but God brings life. Amazingly, we don't have to wait until Jesus' resurrection to see where God has power over death. From bringing dry bones to life, to saving a prophet swallowed by a fish in the Old Testament to the raising of a man dead and buried in the New Testament, we see God as a God of resurrection. This Easter series culminates with the greatest resurrection of all - Jesus! His death and resurrection mean that sin will never have the final say. We can be risen and experience new life too because of Him!
