Great resources for Easter

So, I am probably late with this post.  Easter Sunday is only a few days away. However, I would like to share some great resources for kids for Holy Week.  Most of these are available at your local Christian bookstore.

In no particular order, I recommend the following books, videos, or items:

  • Lily's Easter Party by Crystal Bowman (Ages 4-7)-This new book tells the story of the Resurrection Eggs.
  • Resurrection Eggs-12 eggs that tell the story from Palm Sunday through Easter.  I use these every year to tell the true meaning of Easter to the kids in my church after an Easter egg hunt.
  • God Rocks: Rez the Rock That Rolled Away-I have used this video the last three years.  It tells the story for children through music in a fun, creative, and age appropriate way.
  • Little Colt's Palm Sunday by Michelle Adams-Great story to use on Palm Sunday.  I usually incorporate a live donkey that is used with this story.
  • The Story of Jesus for Children-An older film that has been used around the world specifically for kids.
  • Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones-My favorite children's Bible
Happy Easter. He is risen!

You Are Blameless

“May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24  The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)
