Hi families, here are some acitvities for your kids to do as they take part in our services over Easter.

Good Friday

For this craft, you will need:

  • A blank (can be coloured) piece of paper,
  • Coloured pencils or markers
  • Scissors
  • Glue, and

JESUS PRINTABLE

Draw a cross on your blank piece of paper, and with coloured pens and markers, have children write or draw things they need forgiveness for onto the cross. They can be simple words (eg. 'being mean', 'unkind words') or detailed confessions- whatever children choose. Then, cut out and place the Jesus template (or draw your own) over the words, drawings and confessions. Say to children, "On Good Friday we celebrate the sacrifice that Jesus made, and that His blood covers our sins so we can be called God's children."

We encourage you to discuss the things your children have written or drawn on the cross, and bring these things to God in prayer during communion, or as a family afterwards.
