From The Pastor..
There are two proposed sites in Jerusalem for where Jesus was crucified and buried.  The first site which has tradition dating all the way back to the second century is the church of Holy Sepulcher.   The massive church building is shared by a very complex arrangement of Catholic, Orthodox, Coptic, Syrian, Armenian, and Ethiopian, Christians.   The more protestant friendly proposed location is the garden tomb and Gordon’s Calvary. Gordon’s Calvary is a rocky hill that with a little imagination can appear to have a skull like face in it.   Just downhill from this rock, an ancient tomb was uncovered in an area that had long been used as a vineyard or garden.

Spring is happening this month and our preschoolers are ready for warm weather. We will do interesting activities related to Spring and Easter. We will have an Easter Egg hunt and an Easter party in the classroom.
We will continue to have Show & Tell. This month the objects will begin with the letters K,L,M,N,O, and P. Our preschoolers will start hearing stories this month about why we really celebrate Easter. We celebrate the day Jesus came back to life!
We will have Spring Break March 29-April 2. We are hoping for some great Spring-like weather!
