Rise : A Child’s Guide To Eastertide
$17.99
On Easter morning, a child revels in the colors and sounds of celebration. The church is bright with flowers and all the songs are full of hallelujahs. But as she repeats the joyful words, Christ is Risen, secretly she wonders, “What does Easter have to do with me?”
Rise: A Child’s Guide to Eastertide follows a child through the fifty days of Easter, as she shares in family and community celebrations, hears stories of the Risen Jesus, notices how the world around her is coming alive again, and ponders how growth and new beginnings are part of her own life. Rise is the fourth book in the “Circle of Wonder: Liturgical Year Resource Set.”
Out of this wondering comes a new way of seeing. Easter is not just about what happened to Jesus long ago. It is about change and transformation here and now. When we let go of things–even our own mistakes; when we look for Jesus and find him in new places; when we fall and get up again; when we share a feast; when we love–that is Easter.
Resurrection is a big word.
It means rise again.
I used to think it was a word
only for what happened to Jesus.
But now I’m not so sure.
Sometimes we trip and fall.
But falling does not have to be
the end of the story.
Peter did something bad
because he was scared.
But Jesus let him try again.
I like how Jesus feeds his friends,
even if they didn’t really deserve it.
I like how he gives Peter another chance
to show what he can do.
Maybe Jesus could see
that Peter was much more
than the mistake he made.
Maybe this is resurrection too.

Lyle The Kindly Viking (DVD)
$5.00“Oh, My! Determined to present something “classy” for a change, Archibald Asparagus has taken over VeggieTales!
Assisted by those rascally French Peas, Archibald aims for new heights in “veggie programming” by attempting to produce “the world’s first all-vegetable staging of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet,'” the first-ever “Classy Songs with Larry,” and for the grand finale, the world premier of what he believes to be Gilbert and Sullivan’s “lost musical” – “Lyle, the Kindly Viking!”
Of course, working with the French Peas as assistants is a recipe for disaster and in the chaos – and hilarity – that ensues, Bob, Larry and Junior all learn a great lesson about sharing. Archibald, on the other hand, mostly just learns to never again work with the French Peas.
Don’t miss Junior Asparagus as “Lyle, the Kindly Viking” in this hilarious VeggieTales musical adventure! Your whole family will sing – and laugh – along as they learn that “sharing gets us more of what we really want – friends!””
