April 17 – Easter

Easter is a big celebration for churches, here are some ideas you can use in your church:

  1. Leading up to Easter, create a devotional or week of prayer beginning on Monday that discusses the meaning of Easter for adults, teens, and children.

  2. Post pictures and videos to the church's Facebook and Instagram page about Easter.

  3. Produce a video or social post explaining the significance of Easter in the context of our Christian faith, and how to recognize and celebrate Easter at home.

  4. Post a recipe for unleavened bread that families can make together at home.

  5. Have a virtual communion service. Create an online, live foot washing service. Have the pastor talk about the significance of foot washing, while people watch and wash each other’s feet at home.

  6. Email a devotional, craft idea, activity pages to your congregation and invite them to share these with friends and neighbors.

  7. Create a reflective service by hosting service with songs and reading devotionals on the bible verses of Jesus on the cross.

  8. Ask people to film themselves explaining how Jesus changed their life in 1 minute, then create a testimony video using the clips.
