Chocolate bunnies, marshmallow chicks, colored eggs, and baskets are a lot of fun, but is that really what this season is all about? The new resource Messy Easter offers your church a tool to bring together people of all ages and stages of faith for a unique come-as-you-are experience of

• creativity--allowing space for all to play and create
• celebration--worshiping God and his redeeming work in Jesus
• hospitality--sharing a meal where all are welcome

These three once-a-month sessions include ideas for activities, games, crafts, food, and much more to help us learn about Lent, Holy Week, and Easter in an excitedly messy way! This season, give your community the gift of a Messy Church! The Messy Church series provides resources to help your church bring together people of all ages and stages of faith, allowing them to experience a creative and fun-filled Christian community.
