An Easter Prayer for Children’s Pastors

Today is Good Friday. Tomorrow many of you will have Easter egg hunts and parties where you will share the Gospel message. Then on Easter Sunday, most of you will have special children’s services where the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is taught in creative ways. I pray that the Lord uses you in a mighty way and that many children come to know Him as a result of your faithfulness. I pray that many new children will come to church for the first time to hear the Gospel message. And I pray that you won’t be overwhelmed by the task ahead of you and its eternal significance. Remember, the Holy Spirit goes before you. Your mission is to be faithful and obediant. God is responsible for the results.

Happy Resurrection Day!

Easter Sunday Options

There are many different ways to handle Easter Sunday in children’s church. Some children’s pastors believe this is an opportunity to reach children who are never in church with the Gospel. Others want to make it a fun day so children who don’t normally attend will want to come back. Still others think Easter Sunday should be for families, and children should be in the adult service with their parents.

Please take a moment to vote in this poll and let me know how you handle Easter Sunday. If you want, also add a comment with what you do to make the day special.
