Easter is always a wonderful time at the NEOS Fellowship Center. It is a time to hear about the story of Jesus' death and resurrection as well as a time to have fun and look for Easter eggs. Our fun started on Saturday when the youth and NEOS staff came to the Boado home to color Easter eggs. 
On Sunday afternoon, the staff then hid the eggs for the children to find. But, the children had to listen to the Easter story before they could have the fun of looking for the eggs.
Listening to the Easter Story.
Each year Valerie chooses one of the children to be Jesus.
She uses props to dress up the child so that the children can see what Jesus went through for them.
It is quite a powerful and dramatic way to teach the Easter Story. She goes through the story step by step with visuals and props and drama so the children will understand completely what Jesus did for them.
Valerie also explains why eggs are used for Easter. An egg is a sign of new life. Jesus died and rose again to give you new life.
If you are reading this blog and you would like to have new life in Jesus, please talk to your pastor or contact us through the 'contact us'/CTEN -- Mike and Val Boado/ link in this blog and we will be extrememly happy to lead you to the cross of Jesus.
