Full Bloom - Week 1
Spring is the season for new beginnings! Whether you're cleaning out parts of your home or watching the flowers bloom in your garden, it's a time for new life and growth. Like a good gardener, Jesus wanted to help cultivate the seeds of faith in his friends so they could all grow closer to God. In this 4-week series, kids will learn all about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as he sowed the seeds of new life in the world. Kids will discover that God sent Jesus to save us, Jesus understands when we're hurting, makes all things new, and connects us to God.
BIG IDEA: God sent Jesus to save us.

DISCIPLE:
For this activity, follow this tutorial to help your family make their own paper earthworms.
One of the really cool things about worms is how they can take the trash we throw away and turn it into healthy, nutritious soil for plants and flowers. From that soil, our garden can bloom and be full of incredible plants and flowers!
Jesus came into the world to do something like that, too. Jesus came to rescue us and help us live full, vibrant lives with God. God sent Jesus to save us.
Pray: God, thank you for sending Jesus to save us. Thank you for rescuing us and giving us a chance to grow again. You love us so much, even when we make mistakes. Help us to become more like Jesus. Amen.
