If you were not at MOPS yesterday, you missed a fun activity making Resurrection Eggs -- a set of eggs designed to teach your children about Easter. I still have several sets of eggs left, so if you want one, let me know and I can bring it to church tonight or you can get it from me at home.
Resurrection Eggs:

Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of Silver.
3. Flowers at the Garden of Gethsemane

the disciples kept falling asleep. Jesus was so troubled that He sweat drops of blood as He prayed to His Father.
