It is easier to speak smilingly about bunnies and baskets on Easter than it is to explore Christ’s cruel death and miraculous resurrection. But for every parent who believes that Christ is risen indeed, there is Mission Accomplished. Fourteen theologically rich yet kid-friendly devotions connect well-known Easter stories to the overall biblical message of redemption. Starts with the Passion Week and extends into the week beyond Easter Sunday, walking kids through the immediate aftermath of the resurrection and then unpacking the implications of Jesus death and resurrection for our own lives. Great for busy parents and families, each day's core devotion can be completed in just ten minutes. Family activities are included to give parents options for helping kids of all ages to understand and apply Easter truths and can be completed in an additional ten minutes. Full text of classic hymns for your family to sing in worship.
