Today’s Gospel lesson was about Jesus calling Lazarus to step out of the tomb, an act which sealed Jesus’ fate with the Jewish leaders and foreshadowed His own death and resurrection. Pastor Klafehn had the children act out this lesson with the “toilet paper Lazarus” pictured below.

In the adult sermon, Pastor reminded us that Jesus gives us the power to step into new lives right here and now. We don’t have to live with anger, guilt, shame, and sorrow. Why not take a resurrection step today?
