Share Easter Joy With Children
Was just getting the April Newsletter ready for ministry, and the cover “article” was this little tidbit. I thought it was great, and wanted to share it with you! Enjoy!

Children are drawn to Easter, with the holiday’s emphasis on candy and bunnies. What a privilege to help them realize it’s about so much more! For Christians, Easter is a day of victory. Because Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead, we have forgiveness, hope, and eternal life.
Looking for new ideas to celebrate Holy Week and Easter with your kids? Sometimes the most meaningful activities are the easiest. For example:
• On Palm Sunday, when Jesus was cheered before his death, cut out paper shapes of your palms and wave them around to praise Jesus.
• On Maundy Thursday, when Jesus shared the Last Supper with his disciples, wash one another’s feet as an act of service.
• On Good Friday, walk around all day with a pebble in your shoe. Then talk about that burden and what Jesus’ suffering means to you.
• On Easter, collect foil from candy eggs and create shiny streets of gold as reminders of heaven, where Jesus prepares a place for us.
