The egg hunt portion of the day will kick off at 1:45 p.m. sharp! We will have four different hunting fields this year:
- Ages 2-4 (adult supervision required)
- Ages 5 to 8 (adults may watch but cannot participate)
- Ages 9 to 12 (adults may watch but cannot participate)
- Special Needs: this section was created to create a space for kids and families who may need a quieter, less busy experience. Adults are welcome to assist children who opt in to this location. All the hunts will run at the same time, so your child can only participate in one location.

Let's Get Ready to Worship!
On Resurrection Sunday (April 5th), there will be no CORE classes or 4REAL Worship (the Family Room, Nursery & Toddler care will be available). Why? Because we want to celebrate Jesus' resurrection as one big family! Our kids also have a special job that Sunday: to help us with worship! All kids ages 2-12 are invited to join the worship team on stage to sing Psalm 8 on Resurrection Sunday. We'll be practicing the next few weeks during CORE and 4REAL, but we invite you all to practice at home too! Play the song in the car or get out the wiggles by trying out the moves a home. We are so excited to worship with you!

Discipleship & Serve Opportunities
It's the last Sunday to make an Easter Basket for kids in Newark! 4REAL Worship will be collecting Easter baskets for kids in Newark from now until Palm Sunday. If you would like to donate a basket, please fill a basket with gospel-centered gifts and some treats (no weapons/violent toys). Please wrap your basket in cellophane (so no objects fall out!). Baskets can be dropped off at the table in the church hallway on Sundays.
Want to get your kids involved? Have them help you pick out a Bible or pick book that shares the Gospel. Go to a dollar store, Walmart or craft store to choose some items they think another child would like to receive!

The Upside Down Kingdom
Palm Sunday/ Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet - We wrap up the month as Jesus approaches Jerusalem during Passover week. Days after entering Jerusalem on a donkey, to the cheers of a multitude, Jesus celebrates the Passover meal with His closest friends. Instead of demanding that He be served, Jesus takes on the role of the lowliest servant by washing His disciples’ feet … even those of Judas, His betrayer.
This week's Bottom Line, "Jesus showed us how to be humble."
