Good Friday & Easter

We're glad you found us here. This page contains resources and suggestions for your children as you participate in the adult Good Friday and Easter services. Some of the resources require advance preparation and set up. We hope that the resources found on this page along with the adult resources will give you options to help your entire family have meaningful worship experiences as you observe Good Friday and celebrate Easter.

Suggestions for using these resources:

The best worship experience for the children is to have guidance from an adult. However, we understand that independent children time is sometimes needed when adults are attending their own meetings. The resources on this page were selected or designed to require minimal adult guidance. Please preview the resources below and plan out your worship times that will work best for your situation.

These resources are appropriate for younger children and non-readers.

This would also allow for opportunities for a family discussion afterward. The presentation should take about 30-40 minutes to complete. View presentation.
