Friendship Kids wishes you Joy !! This month we are excited to celebrate Jesus and the Joy that never ends!

Our month begins with the worst day in history, when Jesus was crucified, followed by the very best day: when He rose again! Then we travel along with two friends on the road to Emmaus and experience their surprise and joy when the stranger they meet turns out to be Jesus. We discover the enormous job that Jesus gave to His followers, including us, before returning to heaven. And with the disciples, we witness the amazing arrival of God’s Holy Spirit at Pentecost, sealing the promise that Jesus gave to always be with us, and guiding and helping us every day. In fact, the Holy Spirit is constantly at work in the lives of Jesus’ followers, producing a harvest of joy (along with love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). Kids will discover that when we lean into the Holy Spirit, we can experience this joy that’s far deeper than mere happiness. This second week of April we will look at the story of “The road to Emmaus” (Luke 24:13-35) The bottom line of the week:  You can have joy because there’s a bigger story
