Scavenger Hunt Instructions
Join us on Sunday, April 12 at 11:30 am for a fun Easter Scavenger Hunt! Every few minutes I will post something on our Facebook Group COUKids for you to find that represents a part of the Easter Story. Take a picture of your findings and post them to our COUKids group – you’ll have to be creative/clever as you won’t be able to find some of the literal items. The person/team that posts the most items the fastest will win a $25 gift card to Sonic, 2nd place will receive a $15 gift card to Sonic and 3rd place will receive $20 church bucks to use when we return to church.
Be sure to join our Group before then so you're ready to go when we start!

Christ within us is always teaching and guiding us.
[Jesus said,] “In a little while the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live, too. On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me and I am in you.” - John 14:19-20

note to the parent/caregiver

Easter brings a universal message of rebirth and resurrection, not only for nature, but for each of us in a very personal way. It is a time of leaving the apparent “dead wood” of past mistakes and limitations and old thought patterns behind and resurrecting the Christ Spirit of life, love, faith, joy, etc., within our minds and bodies.
It is common at this time of year for kids to be hearing, “Jesus died for our sins.” Make sure they understand that the word “sin” means error thinking or distance from God. It is true - Jesus died to prove that there is no distance between God and us. |
