Our Bulbs Are Blooming!

Transformation!

Our Lenten cards for the week focus on the Transfiguration story. We don't talk about transfiguration very often, but we can see the transforming work of God all around us. Our bulbs have transformed from something shriveled and dry to something green and growing, and now some are even blooming! What other things can we see that remind us of God's transforming power? Butterflies, eggs, grass beginning to peek out from our snow covered landscape. Take a few minutes as a family to wonder together how God can transform lives every day.

We continue to post progress photos of our bulbs on social media. Keep sharing your photos and thoughts with us, and we'll keep sharing them with our on-line community. Send in photos of your family planting your bulbs, posing with them as they grow, or a note about how you experience God through this activity, and we'll use it on our social media posts during Lent!

This Week's Online Sunday School: Transformation and "Amazing Grace"

Mary Hoffman writes an inspiring and positive picture book for children. It is full of optimism with a wonderful message: follow your dreams. If you stay true to yourself, you can be whatever you want to be, regardless of what other people say.

Before you get started!!!

• Grab a candle if you want to light one.

Save the Date for

Vacation Bible School July 12-15!

Exciting plans are coming together! This year we are partnering with Miss Jan at her new work church, Good Samaritan in Edina. Good Samaritan will be our host church this year for VBS. We love this plan because they have lots of very safe, outside space, which will allow us to have our whole day of camp out doors. We think this will help ensure a safer experience for all of our campers and volunteers. Registration will open soon.
