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.

God I Feel Scared
$12.99Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way.
Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In God, I Feel Scared, children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way.
God, I Feel Scared teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to:
*Identify the feeling of fear and recognize things that can make them feel scared
*See signs of fear in others
*Develop techniques to manage fear
*Embrace fear and new experiences without letting it overwhelm them
*Talk to God about their feelingsAdd to cart1 in stock
