Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin

Leader: 4 The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the
Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the
people.
All: 2 They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching
the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
Leader: 3 They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening,
they put them in jail until the next day.
All: 4 But many who heard the message believed; so the number of
men who believed grew to about five thousand.
Leader 5 The next day the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the
law met in Jerusalem.
All: 6 Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John,
Alexander and others of the high priest’s family.
Leader: 7 They had Peter and John brought before them and began
to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”
All: 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers
and elders of the people!
Leader: 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of
kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he
was healed,
All: 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God
raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
Leader: 11 Jesus is: “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has
become the cornerstone.’
All: 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name
under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
Leader: 13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and
realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were
astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
All: 14 But since they could see the man who had been healed
standing there with them, there was nothing they could say

Sharing this cute video teaching the kids to do a pocket prayer. It doesn't require supplies and is approximately 40 seconds to watch. So cute! Check it out HERE

Regardless of how old we are, I'm thinking we should all put a prayer in our pocket!

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown
