The world today loves a party! Every little thing is turned into a party! I was watching gender reveal clips online yesterday and people were grumbling that it is "over the top and unnecessary", but you know what - who cares!? Why NOT make fun out of things that make us happy? But when we are trying to raise our kids to value some of the most important Christian events such as Easter and Christmas, it can be so hard to compete with what the world is dishing out! The Easter bonnet parades and chocolate eggs are so fun and are totally what kids (and let's face it, adults too) love! AND you know what?... I would say that THEY are ok too! We just need to remember to keep the focus coming back to Jesus. To remind our kids what it is really all about. If you want some tips to help you teach your kids about Easter, check out this great article here. The LifeChurch Bible App for kids has so many of the BIG events of the bible in story form. The Easter story is there too! Download the app here.
One of the tips in the article is to simply.... go to church! If you want your kids to understand that Easter is a big deal, pull out all the stops! Go to the extra services! For any locals to us, we have our Good Friday service on again this year at 8am. Our tradition at Catalyst is for people to bring some Hot Cross Buns to share after the service in the cafe! Very easy, relaxed and fun! Join us!
