Bible Journeys provide unique opportunities for families to work together to provide special events where church and community families can experience God’s Word together and come to understand what it means and how to live it in their everyday lives!
Resurrection Sunday Bible Journey is an event with four stations families “journey” through to learn what Resurrection Sunday is all about. They will learn why Jesus prayed in the Garden. They will discover what happened when Jesus was arrested and put on trial. They will hear how Jesus died on the cross for an “end” none of us would have chosen and then celebrate as they learn how “the end” was really the “beginning”! In the party room families will celebrate this new beginning as they present the canned and boxed foods they brought for families in need. Each station involves families in learning, activity and discussion so this isn’t just another “event”, but rather an opportunity for everyone to learn how the Resurrection was the greatest event in the history of the world!

This looks really interesting and I want to explore how our church can do this for next year. Thank you for all the great resources!
This is awesome and can’t wait to use it.
Our children’s ministry department was excited to be able to use a portion of this for our Easter program. It was a tremendous blessing for a “spur of the moment” project that is sure to be a blessing to our children!
I loved the entire program and plan to show it to other members of my church and encourage them towards doing it at our church.
Tony,
This is wonderful. I want to use part of this….the actual dialogue portion as an introduction to the worship service for the 3 Sundays prior to Easter. April 3rd -the Garden scene, April 10th – the trial scene and April 17th – the ressurrection scene. I hope it will not only inspire our children but our entire congregation. Thank you so much for sharing. God Bless You!
