May 6th

This week's Bible story is the story of Jesus' Ascension.

From The Beginner's Bible:

Jesus Goes Home (Matthew 28/Act 1)

Jesus led his friends to a place near Bethany. He lifted his hands up and blessed them. "Tell other people about me," he said. Then he went up into the sky. A cloud hid him, so his friends could not see him. They stood looking up into the sky for a long time. 

All of a sudden, two angels stood beside them. "Why are you still looking into the sky?" the angels asked. "Jesus has gone up to heaven. Someday he will come back the same way you saw him leave." Then the friends went back to the city with joy in their hearts.

Jesus had taught them many things. They would always remember that he said, "Do not worry or be afraid. Trust in God and trust in me. In God's house there are many rooms. I will go to make a place ready for you. Someday I will come back and take you with me so you can be where I am."

 The fifth graders dressed up and presented their favorite story book characters today. Some of us were a little afraid of their costumes but they did an amazing job sharing their talents.

We have a new little nest on the playground. Too high for the kids to reach or see into so we took pictures to show the momma birds hard work
