Here is some devotional time to do with your child during this Holy Week
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for keeping your promise that Jesus would rise from the dead. Easter is all about the good news: Jesus is alive! Hallelujah! Help us to be messengers of this amazing news to others. Amen! Reading: Luke 24: 1-6 (Click to read text) or Spark Bible, p. 482 Questions To Answer:
Reflection: The Bible says that early on the first day of the week, the women went to the tomb to finish preparing Jesus’ body for burial. When the women got to the tomb, they discovered that the tomb was empty! The large boulder that covered the entrance to the tomb had been rolled away and Jesus was gone. An angel appeared to the women and told them they need not be afraid. Jesus had risen! The women went back to the other disciples to tell them all they had seen. --From Messy Church Activity: Secret Message (from Messy Church) Need: Paper, white crayons, watercolor. Use the white crayon to draw and write secret pictures and messages that have to do with Easter Sunday. Hand the paper to another member of your family and have them paint the paper with watercolor to reveal the secrets underneath! Ideas include the words “He is risen,” a hill with three crosses, an empty tomb, etc. Food Idea: (from Messy Church) Enjoy the evening with whatever traditional meal your family makes for Easter dinner. If you don’t have a tradition, put the eggs you just colored to good use and make some egg salad!
