The Easter
Week Adventure Family Devotion sets the stage for the whole family to engage in
the telling of Jesus' passion. This fun and lively interaction of song and
storytelling grabs the attention of the very young. However, the thought
provoking questions lead the older members to an inner reflection of their
personal beliefs. As a grandparent I am thrilled to be able to share this with
my own grandchildren as we celebrate the passion of Christ. This devotion is
something that can be brought out each year as a family tradition as we remember
Easter Week together.

Mary Rice Hopkins has done it
again! Easter Week Adventure is a complete way to share Easter
both at home and church. Love all the activities! The "Cross with One Tear" is
great for this series of lessons, but what a tool for so many
other uses, too!

"I am SO impressed with how creative
and interactive these devotionals are! Will be using them not only for
family time, but the possibilities are endless for also using them
for Sunday school and mid-week children's
programming. Thank you for this resource!"

3 THINGS KIDS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PRAYER
Today’s children live busy lives involving school, homework, sports
team practices, music and dance lessons, church activities, iPod games,
and television. They need to learn how to take time to “be still and know that He is God” (Ps 46:10a).
Making prayer a priority in your classroom is crucial because
prayer habits which last a lifetime are formed in childhood. The more
children pray, the easier it is for them to pray and the more they will
learn about prayer. Prayer is the one thing a child can do that will
have great impact on the extending of God’s kingdom, no matter what
other skills and talents he may have.
Children need to know at least three things about prayer:
1. Prayer is talking to God in an ordinary manner from the depth of your heart.
You can tell God exactly how you feel. You can ask Him your questions;
share troubles and concerns; tell Him you’re angry, happy, sad. Prayer
about feelings helps children develop a conversational relationship with
God and they will come to know what it means to walk with Him and talk
with Him on a daily basis. Nothing is too small for prayer. Prayer is
not just for the big moments of life. God is in every detail and every
minutes.
2. God is always listening. The only comment which needs to be made after a child prays is: “God listens when we pray.” Pointing out answers to prayer helps to affirm God listens.

3. You can pray anytime, anywhere. Prayers don’t
need to be postponed until the next trip to church. You don’t even have
to wait until you say your prayers before going to sleep at night. You
can pray as the need occurs.
