Good Friday Children's Service

Our church holds a Good Friday Children's service in the afternoon on Good Friday. The have stations representing a different story of Jesus.
The story starts out with John Baptizing Jesus.









The next station is Jesus saying, "Let the Children come to me."









Next is Jesus feeding the hungry. Braeden and Preston are below eating their bread.














Then, it is Zacchaeus climbing in up the tree to see Jesus and Jesus telling him he was going to his house.
Then, my camera stopped working. Ugh. Next was a representation of Palm Sunday with Jesus riding in on a donkey. We all had palm branches and yelled, "Hosanna!"

The next station was Jesus being ceased and Pilate asking if him or Barrabas should be released and the crowd yelling, "Crucify, him!"

Then, it was Jesus nailed to the cross with a crown of thorns on his head and blood coming from his wounds. We sang, "Were You There" and the children were given a blunt nail.

Next, it was the women going to the tomb and found it empty.

Finally, we headed into church and found Jesus had risen! The children were given gladiolus.

It is always fun to experience things from a child's perspective. Laken could not get over the fact that Jesus was not a baby anymore, but was now "a big Daddy."
