WHAT WE LEARNED
Jesus Gives us JOY! Following Jesus doesn’t mean life with be easy. Paul and Silas chose to pray and sing, even in prison! Their Joy came from knowing Jesus was with them and God used their joy to help others to believe. Joy comes from Jesus…not our circumstances.
SONGS! SNACKS! and MORE!
Memory Verse
