Holy Week

Begins on Palm Sunday and ends the night before Easter with Holy Saturday.

Palm Sunday:  Grey square for the color associated with the donkeys, and to signify Jesus' sadness over Jerusalem (Green pipe cleaners to display on the grey square to represent palm branches).

Monday to Wednesday: Purple squares (Each day move Jesus forward on the squares)

Thursday:  Wine red square, to remind us of the wine of the New Covenant (Picture of wine and bread to represent the Last Supper, wooden bead to represent a basin – as Jesus used this to wash the disciples feet).

Friday: Red square, for the blood that was shed for us (Remove figure representing Jesus and display black cross by the square this day) The simple wooden cross will remind us of the Son of God who bore our sins and shame.

Saturday: Black square, as we mourn His death

Sunday: White square, to celebrate His glorious resurrection! (Butterfly to display on the square representing new life).

Resurrection Eggs

The Resurrection eggs are another great way to engage your children in the Easter story.  We have 2 sets at church that we will use during children's worship.
