Easter Resources
As we look ahead to the coming weeks and make preparations to gather with friends and family, plan the menu and fun activities for the children or grandchildren, we would be remiss if we did not prepare our hearts as well. We pray you are blessed and encouraged by the following resources!
The Best Easter – Bunny rabbits? Candy? New dresses and bonnets? Is that what Easter is about? In this story, The Best Easter, written by Jeremy Pulley (at age 9), join Eustice as he teaches his classmates the true meaning of Easter. It is our prayer that as you and your family read the experiences of Tommy, Suzie, Johnny, and Eustice, that you, too, would marvel afresh at the significance of the Easter season, as told through the eyes of a child.

The First Easter: A Journey to the Empty Tomb (A YouVersion Devotional Plan) – The historical events recorded in John 18–20 provide a vivid account of the first Easter. In this eight-day plan, Alistair Begg considers the meaning and relevance behind events like Jesus Christ’s surrender in Gethsemane, His death on a cross, and the empty tomb that He left behind.
