Celebrating Easter

The true reason for celebrating Easter, the resurrection of Jesus, is the foundation of who we are! It's the most important thing that we celebrate!

It wasn't difficult for us to explain to our kids that Easter Eggs represent the new life that we have through Christ. Dyeing eggs and having an egg hunt were so much fun!

Leading up to Easter we talked so much about why Jesus had to die. If you ask our kids they'll say "he died for our sins." We also talked about how Jesus is God and he has power over death. It was such a delight to sing Easter hymns together. There's nothing like hearing Joseph and Faith's sweet voices singing, "Alive, alive, alive forevermore! My Jesus is alive, alive forevermore!" 

Joseph and Faith are familiar with the details of the Easter story. They watched a cartoon version of the story over and over and memorized it. They wouldn't stop talking about it. Of course they were ready to celebrate this foundation of our faith! 

Here are some pictures from our Easter Egg hunt on Easter morning. What a joy to do this with our small church family!
