Children and Family Ministry
Lenten Memory Verse: “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people who are like these children.” (Matthew 19:14)
GRIEF is a difficult topic, yet this our word for the week. In this week’s story, Mary and Martha are sad and grieving because their brother, Lazarus, has died. They asked Jesus to come, and he was late?! He cries with them, and then the most surprising thing happens!
Walking the labyrinth is a way to pray – walk and talk with Jesus and grow a heart for God. The parts of the labyrinth are tied to the acronym for PRAY (Pause, Rejoice, Ask and Yes to God). In the past 3 weeks we have focused on the Labyrinth parts:
Threshold - Pause to greet God,
Walking In path - Rejoice as we come to Jesus,
Center/Heart of the labyrinth - Ask Jesus, take time to rest with Him and give him our heart.
This week we finally focus on the Walking Out path where we Yield. To yield to Jesus is saying “yes” to Jesus because you know He hears your prayers. He is with us no matter… whether are experiencing joy or GRIEF.
God bless you and all the children Jesus entrusted in our care!
Blessings,
Alma Fountain
