April 26, 2019

I want to share the GOOD NEWS with you!
I hope your child has been a witness to our Risen Savior to you.
The Easter candle and Bible are to be used by your family with your first grader reading the story to you.
May your family be blessed by God's Word!
Each week your child will have two devotions to lead with your family.  Look for the devotions on Mondays and Thursdays:)
GO AND TELL THE GOOD NEWS
Christ is Risen
He is Risen Indeed Alleluia

Musical Thursday May 9 at 6:00
Here is the information regarding this year’s musical on Thursday, May 9th:
1)  We will have a dress rehearsal at 2:00 p.m on Thursday, May 9th in the church sanctuary for Zion students and any family members that want to attend.
2) The musical will take place at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 9th.  Please bring your child to the church basement at 5:45 p.m. Teachers will arrive at 5:45 p.m. so please do not send your child down any earlier.
3)  Dress for that Friday:
School Day:  Regular uniform
6 p.m. performance:  red Zion t-shirt and khaki bottoms (shorts, pants, or skirts)
4) Teachers are anticipating that students are at both performances.  Please let your child's teacher know if your child will not be attending both performances.

On Friday, May 17th, students in grades 1-8 will participate in a “Faith Family Field Day”.  We will eat a picnic lunch, play games, and have one last fun time with our Faith Families!  

Zion will be providing cheese pizza from Domino's, goldfish and water for the picnic lunch.  If your child does not want that lunch or is unable to eat that lunch due to allergies, please have your child bring a cold lunch on Friday, May 17th.  

Your child will also be spending the afternoon out in the sun, so please apply sunscreen in the morning before your child comes to school.  

This will also be a SPECIAL SPIRIT DAY your child may wear a Zion/LHS t-shirt and non uniform bottoms!  

For those who have summer birthdays I usually have one day that we celebrate,  Fun Friday May 10 is when we will celebrate all summer birthdays!  I will provide a treat for all to enjoy!




As it gets closer to summer I want to remind you not to take a vacation from God.  This class loves to sing the various liturgies used in church. They also have a very mature prayer life.  They are excited to hear and read the Bible. They love to share the GOOD NEWS!  I ask that you continue to nourish their faith.  

Make a commitment to attend church weekly.  


Show your children that nothing is more important than God, 
-not vacations (visit another church where you are vacationing), 
-not sports (take advantage of the various services times and days), 
-not sleeping in or boating or golf (show that God is important to you and make a point to worship even when it isn’t easy).  

Your child will be blessed by your faithfulness to worship and will follow your example.

In Him,
Amy

April 18, 2019

Surely He took up our pain

and bore our suffering, 

yet we considered Him punished by God, 

stricken by Him, and afflicted. 

But He was pierced for our transgressions, 

He was crushed for our iniquities; 

the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, 

 and by His wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, 

each of us has turned to our own way; 

and the LORD has laid on Him

the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53:4-6

The angel said to the women, 
“Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for 
Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, 
just as He said. 
Come and see the place where He lay. 
Then go quickly and tell His disciples: ‘
He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. 
There you will see Him.’ Now I have told you.”
Matthew 28:5-7

May the Risen Lord fill you with JOY and PEACE.  
Your salvation has been won.  You have new life!

Have a wonderful EASTER and Easter Break!

Please make celebrating in church part of your family's Easter plans.


In our RISEN SAVIOR,
