With social distancing in full effect, many families are wondering how they will be able to celebrate Easter this year with some even suggesting “Easter is cancelled”.
NOOOOO!!!!!!
There are endless ways to celebrate Easter in a praiseworthy, family-focused way, even while practicing social distancing.
We pray these ideas to help your family create new memories, traditions and most importantly celebrate the free gift of salvation that Jesus gives us.
- “EGG” your neighbors. Fill plastic eggs with our Easter Story Cards, candy, or trail mix, (or anything you want), toss them on your friends/neighbors lawns and RUN! Text or call them to let them know they have been “egged”.
- Enjoy a simple Easter-themed breakfast buffet:
- “Cross” (turkey) bacon
- Grape juice (blood of Jesus)
- “Empty Tombs” (donuts, bagels, or biscuits with removable holes – stuff with a donut hole, strawberry, or simply cut a hole in the center of a biscuit and place it back in the biscuit)
- Boiled eggs (add fun by coloring them the week before Easter) with a sign that says “Silly Rabbit, Easter is for Jesus”.
- Fresh fruit
- Read the Easter Story MATTHEW 26-28, MARK 15-16, LUKE 22-24, JOHN 17-20
