We are still working on our secret serving!

Simon of Cyrene is a person from the last days of Christ's life who served.

Read Matthew 27:32.

What do we learn about Simon from this passage?

Where was Cyrene? It's in the same place that Libya is today.

How might Simon have looked compared to the people of Jerusalem?

11yr, "He might have had darker skin. He might have been ragged looking from traveling."

Now read Mark 15:21.

What do we learn about him here? He has kids! Two boys.

Now read Luke 23:26. The Bible says the soldiers "forced" him to carry the cross. That would be a horrible job! Sometimes serving is just plain hard.

We can be thankful for people who help us when things get hard. And we can try to help others.
