Keeping Jesus in Easter — 6 Comments

  1. I use the resurrection eggs. Each of my grandchildren gets two or three eggs. The eggs are numbered and have a little symbol in them that tells a part of the Easter story. I’ve even used the eggs when I took Sunday school kids to convalescent homes to share the Easter story. I discovered there’s a little kid in every person, no matter what age. When I called out the numbers in the retirement home, hands raised and excited voices said, “I’ve got that number!” The redeeming story of Easter was exciting and clear. I loved how God spoke through the children as they delivered treats and a hug to the residents.

  2. I love those ideas, Linda!

    To keep the focus on Jesus I tell the Good Friday story & then we share the Hot Cross Buns & talk about why we eat them at this time of year. Then I tell the Easter Sunday story & we share mini eggs & talk about why we eat those too, so that hopefully when they see/eat those items again, they’ll remember the stories behind them. I’ve now got some other ideas this week from you, Janice & Penny to add to those, which is nice, so thank you all for sharing those ideas!
