Sharing the Easter Faith With Children

Publisher Description

It is easy to share the Christmas story and faith with children. The story lends itself well to pageants and other celebratory events for children. It is not as easy to share the Easter story and faith with children because the messages and images are complex. In many congregations, children are featured in palm parades on Palm Sunday but not specifically planned for at other holy week services. This book explores what the Easter message can mean for children as they grow up. Brown helps congregations and families share the Easter message with children and include the children meaningfully in Lent, Holy Week, and Easter observances. The volume includes a reproducible booklet for parents. This carefully researched and well-grounded, practical resource from a respected Christian educator will strengthen a congregation's educational ministry with children and support parents as they shape the faith of their children.
