New Life Kids - Family Activity - Resurrection Eggs

This Lenten season New Life Kids wants to help families of all ages (birth-5th grade) learn & talk about the events leading up to Jesus' resurrection.

A simple & engaging way to tell this story is through the use of Resurrection Eggs. Resurrection Eggs are plastic eggs that are filled with a small symbol & scripture reference.

On Sunday, April 6, families are invited to stay after worship to assemble their own Resurrection Eggs to take home.

All supplies will be provided (eggs, fillers & scripture cards).

If you are unable to stay, you are welcome to pick up a kit to assemble at home.

We hope you can join us for this special learning experience.
