Grace Lutheran shares ‘Jerusalem Experience’

Do your kids think Easter is all about chocolate bunnies and ham dinners? Do they get more excited about cartoon reruns than the Easter story? Then make a change in their Easter this year! Bring your children to The Jerusalem Experience where you can use your senses to discover more than ever about the true story of Easter and the depth of Jesus’ love for us.

Bring the whole family to Grace Lutheran Church and School (47585 Ciechanski Road, Kenai) on March 19 from 3-5 p.m. for a multi-sensory learning event that covers the last days of Jesus’ life on earth. (“Tours” leave every 10 minutes and last about 1 hour, the last tour leaving at 5 p.m.) Meet witnesses from the Bible; taste, touch, feel, and be a part of the Passion story; take a walking journey with your passport in hand and be transported back to the time of Christ. Come, celebrate the resurrection in a whole new experience!
