Jesus Prays for Help
Matt. 26:36, Mark 14:32, Luke 22:39
After dinner Jesus and his followers went to a quiet garden. Jesus prayed for strength. He took Peter, James, and John with him. They were three of his closest friends. Jesus asked them to pray. He went further into the garden to pray by himself. It was late and the three men were tired. They fell asleep. Jesus woke them twice, but they went back to sleep each time.
The lesson focused on these points.
1. Jesus prayed and God listened.
2. We should pray, and God will listen to us.
3. He always answers our prayers with yes, no, or sometime we need to wait until we receive an answer to our prayer.
Song:
Jesus Taught Us How to Pray
To the tune of "Jesus Loves Me.
Jesus taught us how to pray,
to God our Father everyday;
Morning, noon, and night-time, too,
we can pray and so can you.
Yes, we can pray! Yes, we can pray!
Yes, we can pray; to God through-out the day.
to God our Father everyday;
Morning, noon, and night-time, too,
we can pray and so can you.
Yes, we can pray! Yes, we can pray!
Yes, we can pray; to God through-out the day.

The boys and girls colored a picture of Jesus praying in the garden. This handout was laminated, then cut into 4 pieces. This puzzle was sent home today. Hopefully, your child will be able to put the pieces together and provide some information about the Bible story.

Some of our older children participated in a 15min. service for Drew A. Along with the entire school body, we celebrated Drew's life on earth and now his life in heaven. The Preschool classes played hand bells to the song, "Jesus Loves Me". These bells were a Memorial Gift from Drew's family. The entire student body the sang the same song A- cappella. Pastor Rouland gave a short message on heaven, using a children's book.
Drew.

With the help of the 8th graders, we blew bubbles in the Welcome Center as the service ended.
