WHATZ UP FOR KINGDOM KIDZ
JESUS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
During the Months of April and May
the lessons in Children’s Church and Bible
Study will be focused on the post-resurrection
appearances of Jesus. The gospels of Luke
and John describe at length Jesus’
appearances to His followers during the 40
days prior to His ascension into heaven.
We will explore the gospels to learn
about Jesus’ appearance before “doubting
Thomas” and the other disciples as well as
travel along the road to Emmaus as Luke
describes His encounter with a pair of His
followers. We will also explore Jesus’ last
recorded miracle in which He overwhelmed
the disciples’ fishing nets with a huge catch of
fish.
Our study of this portion of biblical
history will conclude with the ascension of
Jesus into heaven to be seated at the right
hand of God and the command of the Great
Commission. The children will gain an
understanding that although Jesus completed
His earthly ministry for the time being, He is
yet alive and has something for each of us to
do as ambassadors for Him.
Please collaborate with us as a family
as we discover the gospel truths found in
Luke and John. Extend the discussions the
children have during our time with them at
church when they return to their homes with
the Good News of the gospel.

Kids Against Hunger Campaign
Please give a generous donation for the
Kids Against Hunger Packing Event on
Palm Sunday, March 25, 2018 or Easter
Sunday, April 1, 2018.
Campaign Goal: $6000.00
Kids Against Hunger is a non-profit
humanitarian organization with a mission to
provide fully nutritious food to impoverished
children and families around the world...and
around the corner. The goal of the
organization is for the meals to provide a
stable nutritional base from which recipient
families can move their families from
starvation or food insecurity to self-
sufficiency. The organization’s approach to
achieving its goal – the eradication of world
hunger – includes the packaging of a highly
nutritious, vitamin-fortified soy-rice
casseroles by volunteers at numerous
locations within the USA, Canada, and the
Middle East, and the distribution of those
meals to starving children and their families in
70 countries through partnerships with
humanitarian organizations worldwide.
Retrieved from Kids Against Hunger website:
https://kidsagainsthunger.org
The Kids Against Hunger Packing Event is
after the Missions Conference on Saturday,
May 5, 2018 from 11:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Unit 1: Follow in My Ways
Lesson Title: Guess Who?
Printed Text: Luke 24:1-12; 30-35
Unifying Principle People often question the
promises of their leaders. How can they come
to have assurance in the midst of doubt? In the
breaking of bread and making Himself known
to His disciples, the risen Christ kept his
promises.
The Ministry of
Nurture and
Discipleship is all that
we do as a congregation
to stimulate lifelong learning and lasting
spiritual growth and Christian commitment.
It includes everything that we do as a
congregation to provide, promote, and pay for
a ministry of sound spiritual learning. It is
our commitment to Christian discipleship
development.
Discipleship is taking on the character and
nature of Jesus Christ and becoming a learner
of His ways, words, and will. Christian
nurture is the process of helping persons to
grow in such a way that they are formed in the
very image of Jesus Christ.
“MINISTRY OF NURTURE & DISCIPLESHIP”
Elder
Rev. B.J. Stancel
Resurrection Sunday: A Great Time
for Teaching* Matthew 28:19-20
ike Kimberly S. Credit, I can recall how my
seven siblings and I would look with great
anticipation to “Easter Sunday.” We knew
we were going to get new “Easter clothes”
and bolo bats with fake grass and jelly beans on
them, covered with Saran wrap to hold it all in
place; and if we were lucky, we would get a
chocolate covered “Easter egg” or “an Easter
bunny.” The down side was if you got your “Easter
clothes” dirty, a whipping was imminent. Mom
dressed us girls alike, and it appeared that she had
two sets of twins. At that time, Jesus’ resurrection
was nowhere around our hearts, because we did not
know that it should be.
We went to Sunday School every Sunday
(that was a requirement in the Stancel household);
but I do recall being taught about the meaning of
Easter and Jesus resurrection. In her article, Credit
says that intricate details are given about Christmas
and traditional Watch Night services, but when it
comes to the Resurrection, “we only shout about
Jesus being raised from the tomb, hardly ever
explaining just what that means for humanity.”
She adds, “Maybe it is the time really to
explain from beginning to end why this day is so
important. Maybe it's a day that we should not rush
to individual homes to enjoy our hams, collard
greens, and cake, but make it a day of teaching
followed by family and community fellowship.
Perhaps the black church can move away from our
same old annual Easter traditions and use
Resurrection Sunday as a time to truly resurrect the
life, the love, the atonement provided by the One
we know as our Lord and Savior. Both the
traditional festive celebratory service can be
combined with an intentional teaching approach to
help explain to those who come only twice a year
what the excitement is really all about and how they
can benefit.”
*Quotes from Kimberly Credit. "Resurrection Sunday: A Great
Time for Teaching." The Living Pulpit April 2012; 21 (2).

The Ministry of Social Justice is our
commitment to living out the Great
Commandment of Jesus Christ, "And you
shall love the Lord your God...this is the first
commandment. And the second, You shall
love your neighbor as yourself. There is no
other commandment greater than these (Mark
12:30-31). Through the social ministries of
the church we seek to live out a clear biblical
mandate for "biblical righteousness and
justice." We seek to be a living witness of
God's grace and love for all of humanity. This
ministry is devoted to serving as the
congregation's voice in the areas of social
justice, social concern, social change and
social ministry. Through this ministry, we
seek to be visibly present in the community
where we are planted. It is our means for
serving as God's agent of social
transformation. Social Ministry is our work on
the Home Mission field.

The Ministry of Innovation and Technology is
all that we do as a congregation to engage the
senses through the use of multi-media
technology and in our worship. Through this
ministry we seek to create a dynamic
experience in worship through the effective
use of audio, video, lighting, and the latest
advances in music technology. The Ministry
of Innovation and Technology provides the
platform for the church to engage the culture
through the use of Social Media portals of
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social
media channels. The Ministry of Innovation
and Technology utilizes social and communal
blogs as a means for reaching the larger
community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Through this ministry we develop, update,
and fully operate our website and mobile app,
two of the most important outreach and
informational tools.

18 “Do not call to mind the former things,
Or ponder things of the past. 19 “Behold, I will do something new,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert. 20 “The beasts of the field will glorify Me,
The jackals and the ostriches,
Because I have given waters in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert,
To give drink to My chosen people.
