Easter Resources for families
Easter is a great time to talk together at home about who Jesus is and what he has done. We’ve included a few resources below to help you explore this as a family.
1 Peter 1:3 “In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
We’re praying for you—that you would know God’s goodness bringing renewal, hope and new life this Easter. If there are spaces in your hearts, lives or families that feel dry or weary, we pray that the power of the Holy Spirit would meet you there and bring God’s life, restoration and hope.

For our older kids (6-11s), we’ve been talking about The New Creation showing how 1. God made us in his image, then 2. the fall happened and how 3. the cross and 4. resurrection came to mend the brokenness of the world and we can now be made new in Jesus! Here is the summary video and some I wonder conversation starters below:
“I wonder what sin is and what it looks like on the inside of us”
“I wonder what made Jesus choose to go to the cross (he went willingly) and why he went through with it till the end”
“I wonder how God feels when he thinks of us being with Him forever”
“I wonder how you would describe God’s love using something you can see around the house or outside”
For our younger Kids (0-5s), we’ve been exploring how Jesus was a humble and kind King through the series called The Donkey and the King, you can watch the lesson video here! and some activity ideas to explore together:
