Pastor's crossNCLC Pastor’s Corner

It’s May! It seems impossible that there are only seven more weeks of school until our summer program begins! As the days get warmer and the flowers come out, I am sure we will all want to be outside as much as possible enjoying the new life God brings every year.

Last month we celebrated Jesus’ victory over sin and death at Easter. I hope you had a wonderful time of celebration with your family and friends. It is incredible to me that God came to earth as a man and died because there is no other way for me to have a relationship with Him. God wants a relationship with me! What amazing love! As you go about your lives this month, remember that God loves you.

Bible Story Themes: During the weekly Bible story and follow up activity, all the children at NCLC will be reviewing that because God loves us, He came to earth as Jesus. He took all our sin on Himself and paid the price in death for our sin. He did that because He loves us and wants a relationship with us. And He showed that He conquered death and sin by rising from the dead on Easter Sunday. What victory and joy! It is ours to share with Him if we accept that He is the one who paid for our sins.

The Toddler #1 group will be learning that Jesus loves families, and children and that Jesus loves everyone. Jesus even loves us individually and knows us by name. T-1’s will also learn that God cares for them when they are sleeping. Toddler 2’s through Kindergarteners will be learning that God promised that He would always be with us. So, when Jesus went to heaven, God sent the Holy Spirit to be with us. They will also hear how Paul one of the enemies of those who love Jesus came to know and love God! Toddler 2’s through Pre-K will learn how the Apostle Paul escaped from Damascus in a basket! Kindergarteners will hear one of the stories Jesus told about the prodigal Son. Toddler 2’s and Preschoolers will hear how Paul traveled all over telling people about Jesus, but some people put him and his friend Silas in prison, but God got them out! Pre-K through Kindergarten will hear another parable of Jesus called the lost lamb.

Your child will be bringing home pictures they have colored and possibly a craft project relating to the story they have heard. Please ask them about the story. It will help them remember.

A Request: If there are any changes in your family, please let me know. Changes in the family, even the loss of a well-loved pet, can deeply affect a child. We would like to be aware so that we can help your child through this difficult time. And, I would like to pray for you and your child and help you in any way that I or Community Chapel can help.
If you have any questions about my role at NCLC, the Bible curriculum, helping your child develop his/her relationship with God, or any family concerns, please call me at NCLC, 603-883-4356 or send email to pastorshirley@community-chapel.org .
