Jesus Died for Me: A Joyful DCS Preschool Passover Celebration

In celebration of Passover, DCS Tanah Mas held a special and joyful event on the theme “Jesus Died for Me.” This meaningful occasion was designed to help our students begin to understand, in a simple and age-appropriate way, the greatest love of all, Jesus’ sacrifice and His resurrection.

Passover is a very special and important celebration for us as Christians. Through this moment, the children were gently introduced to the truth that Jesus died on the cross to redeem us from sin. As humans who have fallen into sin, we are separated from God. However, because of His great love, God made a way to save us. Jesus willingly gave His life on the cross to set us free, and through His resurrection, we are given new life and hope. This beautiful message of love became the heart of our celebration.

The event began with a lively session of praise and worship. The children participated with great joy, singing, clapping, and following simple movements with excitement. We also involved our KGB students as part of the service, where they served as worship leaders and singers. This meaningful opportunity allowed them to grow in confidence and experience what it means to serve God and lead others in joyful praise. Their cheerful expressions reflected how much they enjoyed being part of this special moment. This was followed by a time of prayer, helping them to quiet their hearts and prepare to listen to God’s Word.

We were also blessed with a Bible storytelling session delivered by a guest speaker from Namba Sunday School. The story of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection was shared in a lively, interactive, and engaging way. The children listened attentively, responded with enthusiasm, and were able to grasp the message in a way that was meaningful for their age.

The celebration continued with a creative art activity where the children painted on canvas, creating beautiful cross artwork. This session was filled with excitement and enthusiasm, each child eagerly chose their colors, painted with joy, and proudly showed their finished work. The cross they painted became a simple yet powerful reminder of Jesus’ love for them.

Throughout the day, the atmosphere was filled with joy, laughter, and celebration. Passover was not only remembered but truly celebrated as a great and meaningful event. The school environment was alive with happiness as children, teachers, and staff shared in this special occasion together.

As the children went home, they carried more than just their artwork, they brought with them the joyful message of Passover: that Jesus Christ has risen and that He loves them deeply. It is our hope that this experience will plant seeds of faith in their hearts, helping them grow in their understanding of God’s love, even from an early age.

May this Passover celebration remind us all of the greatest gift we have received.
Jesus died for me, and He is risen.
