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?
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!
Easter blessings,
