Feliz Pascua! Happy Easter to you all!  It’s been such a blessing to learn about the Easter story in Spanish these last few weeks, and now it’s finally Holy Week.  We worshiped together with the song below and finished up our resurrection eggs. We’ll also be watching a brief video of Easter in Spanish to go along with our last few eggs.  We’ll also be playing a game on Thursday.

We started our worship song (O Praise the Name) all in Spanish, and then transitioned this week to a multi-lingual version below.  What a beautiful picture of the CHURCH all worshipping Jesus during this Holy Week, and even a picture of what Heaven will be like one day. God makes us all special and unique, and all in His image…  Every language, every nation, every shape/size/color… each one a valued part of the body of Christ.

Blessings for a great Easter and Spring Break.
