"Jesus Died To Give Us New Life."

John 12:23-25


The children will learn that plants come from seeds and marvel at the wonder of God's gift of seeds and plants. We'll plant lima beans in water and watch and record their growth. The children will be aware of the death-to-new life cycle of a seed and know that Jesus died on the cross and rose to new life to give us new life.
