Pho- to by Beth Bohnert H Sports Tidbits "Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Ni- codemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him." In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."—John 3:1-3 Continued from Page B1 Drop by teaspoons onto parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was laid. Read Mat- thew 27:57-60: Fold in broken nuts. there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away." Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF. Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door. Explain that Jesus' tomb was sealed. Read Matthew 27:65-66: "Take a guard," Pilate "As evening approached, answered. "Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how." So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard." GO TO BED! Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight. Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. Read John 16:20-22: I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish be- cause of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy." On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the first Easter, Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty. Read Mat- thew 28:1-9: "After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, go- ing to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like light- ning, and His clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of Him that they shook and became like dead men." The Pike Central Chargers baseball team began the season beating the Chargers beat North Knox Kentucky High School All- Star Selection Committee, and participated in the selec- tion process of the Kentucky High School All-Stars for the upcoming 2011 Indiana/ Kentucky All-Star game.

He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. Then go quickly and tell His dis- ciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.' Now I have told you." away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greet- ings," He said. They came to Him, clasped His feet and worshiped Him." "So the women hurried What a fun and delicious way to celebrate the Easter Story!
