Throughout Lent we have been looking at stories of Jesus that show us how he loved, and how his love changes things. The Easter story–the story of Jesus dying on a cross and coming to life again–is another story that can teach us about Jesus’ love and God’s love, too.

Easter Story

Wondering Questions

I wonder what we can learn about God’s love from this story?
I wonder what other things remind you of God’s love?
I wonder if there are places you go, people you know, or things you do that help you feel God’s love?

Another Story: The Easter Butterfly

The Easter Butterfly printable

This is a story that isn’t EXACTLY about Easter…it doesn’t have Jesus in it, or the cross, or the tomb…BUT it is one way that we can think about the Easter story.

So gather around kids, and grown ups too…and as you hear this story, I wonder if it will remind you of Easter in any way.
