CFF Children Prepare! - Easter

Greetings, CFF families! Please share the Easter video message with your children. Then, discuss the following questions!

FAMILY DISCUSSION Consider discussing these questions at the dinner table. Jesus' disciples had put all their hope in Jesus. What do you think they were thinking and feeling on Good Friday when He was crucified?  What do you think the disciples felt and thought when they discovered that Jesus rose from the dead? What do you look forward to most about springtime? How is Easter like spring?  What does it mean that we are a "people of the Resurrection?" How does that give you hope, especially in these times? What are some ways you can share the joy of Jesus with your family at this time?  FAMILY ACTIVITY Sometime this week, read and discuss Philippians 4:4-7.  Make a gratitude list. List every blessing you can think of (small children can draw pictures).  Share some of the things on your list, and once everyone has shared, conclude by saying a family prayer of thanksgiving. Let one of the children lead the prayer.   This is a very effective way to open the heart to joy during challenging times.  He is risen. He is risen indeed!
