Meaningful Family Activities for Easter
Easter is more than just a service—it’s the foundation of our faith and a time for joyful celebration with loved ones. As this special season approaches, we invite you to create lasting memories with your family through these meaningful, faith-filled activities. Whether through reflection, worship, or hands-on experiences, these ideas will help prepare your hearts for Easter in a deeper, more intentional way.
Read the Easter Story
You can read the full story from the plot to kill Jesus to the resurrection (Luke 22- Luke 24) or read the resurrection (Luke 24) as a family and discuss its meaning and value to our faith.
Listen to Worship Music
As we get ready for Easter Service at LPC, we have created a playlist on Spotify for your family to listen to in the car and in your home.
Do a Service Project
We believe it’s important to be generous in our time and serve one another. A great place to serve with your family from ages 12 and up is at Denver Rescue Mission: The Crossing where you can serve a meal to their residents. Here is the link to sign up your family: Serve a Meal
Create a Resurrection Garden
This is a meaningful Easter craft that shows a visual representation of Jesus’ resurrection.
- Prepare the Base: Fill the shallow dish or planter with potting soil, leaving space for the tomb.
- Create the Tomb: Lay the small terra cotta pot on its side, slightly buried in the soil to resemble the empty tomb. Place a large stone next to the opening (this will represent the stone that was rolled away).
- Plant the Grass or Moss: Sprinkle grass seeds or lay moss around the tomb area. If using grass seeds, lightly cover them with soil.
- Add Rocks and Decorations: Arrange small rocks and pebbles to create a garden path or natural look. You can also add small flowers or succulents for extra beauty.
- Make the Cross: Take two small sticks and tie them together with twine to form a cross. Place the cross behind the tomb in the soil.
- Water and Watch It Grow: Lightly spray the garden with water daily. If using grass seeds, they should sprout within a week!
- Use It for Reflection: On Good Friday, place the stone in front of the tomb to represent Jesus’ burial. On Easter Sunday, roll the stone away as a reminder of His resurrection!
