Easter Resources for the Family!

Hi Folks,

Since this is "Resurrection Week" and we are all still stuck inside, I have 4 several resources listed and linked below for your families this week, from the little kids to the teens and adults!   Feel free to pass along to other families in your life!

Resource 1: A Walk with Jesus, was just passed along to me by a family I know and they are enjoying it tremendously!

Resource 2: "The Bible App for kids" I found in my inbox and it helps parents explain the meaning of Easter is to your children in an understandable, fun, interactive way.

Resource 3 is from one of my favorite kids movie series, The Story Keepers.  It is an animated series about Ben the Baker, his wife Helena and their adopted children who are underground church leaders during the time of Nero.  Ben tells stories of Jesus during their meetings, but there is alot of adventure and humor along the way.   This was my all time favorite series as a child, still enjoy them:)

Resource 4 is The TorchLighters from Voice of the Martyrs.   It is an animated series about heroes of the faith, from the Bible and history. Even though they are for kids, my mom and I have watched many stories from this series and it has touched our hearts tremendously and grown our faith!    The dvd itself (at the end of each one), has a documentary of the person it featured.  So the kids and adults can learn from each hero of the faith!): 

Resource #5 I am SUPER EXCITED ABOUT!!!   I don't know if you have heard of Sound and Sound Theaters, but they are located in Lancaster PA and Branson MO.  They put on live, professional dramatized productions of stories from the Bible in their 2,000 seat theater.  The acting, music, drama, costumes are incredibly stunning and impressive!!! 

Below are details that they will be showing one of their live Easter plays on TV or via an app for free this weekend!  I can PROMISE that your whole family will enjoy it.   (Kids 8 and up would gain the most from it depending on your child, but the teens and adults would really enjoy this.)

I hope that each of you can find a resource that suits your family and that. Even though we are stuck inside and it doesn't feel like Easter week, it doesn't diminish the meaning or significance and we still have resources to help remind us of that.  Blessings, Grace

Sacrifice. Crucifixion. Redemption. Resurrection. Renewal. These can be difficult concepts to understand, even for us as adults. How do we introduce our children to these foundational aspects of our faith? The Bible App for Kids can help.
