Does the word “Easter” appear in the Bible? There is a little controversy about this. The King James Translation does include the word in Acts 12:4, while nearly all other translations stick with the Greek phrase to mean passover. I think this is a distraction. In the English language and most church traditions Easter has become the normal word to describe the Sunday we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection.

Tony,
Do you have a sunday school lesson for the story “A BRSND-NEW DAY” from the BIG PICTURE STORY BIBLE Part 22? I wanted to use this strory for Easter Sunday. .
No. We didn’t finished out the NT lessons from that story Bible.
Dear Tony,
I just wanted to say thanks for all the wonderful material your ministry provides. They have been a great teaching tool for me.My prayer is that God will continue to bless your efforts.
Hi there-I was searching thru your materials for children’s church and I noticed the lesson of the Lost Coin. The application of ‘how God can be lost & found’ was interesting but I wanted to share Dr. Kenneth Bailey, a Bible scholar who grew up in the Middle East & most recently, author of Jesus Thru Middle Eastern Eyes.
Dr. Bailey illuminates from that parable that we are the lost coin the God searches for, and that no matter how soot covered, dirt covered or tarnished, the coin **We!** never loses value, because the value is created by the minter and that can never change. Ahhh
welldone with all this work you are doing, the Lord will continue to uphold u and ur household in Jesus name!
I have been doing the parables and the Good Samaritan, but instead of using puppets I plan on turning it into a one act show by using some adult or kids to volunteer depending on what the lesson is about to help with the lesson so it is interactive. It gets me out of my comfort zone as well.
i like what i see here too, do you have any ideas for en easter play
Not specifically, but the Resurrection Sunday Bible experience might have everything you need. It includes a script for different parts of the story.

In addition to above suggestion you might consider adding movie time to your Easter get together. I found these Christian DVDs to be very appropriate for this occasion.
I find all the lessons very useful and for the past month have been using it at our Sunday school and the children absolutley love it.
May God Bless you for doing this for His children…….
I plan on using this lesson tomorrow. I think the children will like it. However, I don’t have the puppets, I am going to read the story and ask questions about it time permitting. Now to find an approprate craft or game. Thanks, I researched quiet a bit of material, and kept coming back to your site.
Yours in Christ,
Elizabeth
