5 Tips for Sharing the Gospel With Children This Easter

Easter will soon be here, and as you're celebrating the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior, you're probably also sharing the gospel story (or at least some element of it) with the kids and families who walk through your doors. Easter Sunday often brings new families and visitors who may have never heard the gospel before, so it's vital we share it with intentionality and purpose. That's why I'm excited to share this guest blog post from Jaden Howard, a DKM Vendor, on 5 tips for sharing the gospel with children! These tips come from and helped create her Magnetic Gospel Easter Object Lesson.

Tell Me You’re Planning an Easter Event Without Telling Me You’re Planning an Easter Event…

Tell me you're planning an Easter Event without telling me you're planning an Easter event. I'll go first. One time I experimented with roasting Peeps instead of regular marshmallows for an Easter-themed s'more snack. 😂 Your turn! I posed that question in some popular children's ministry Facebook groups + on Deeper KidMin's social media and had a BLAST reading through all of the answers! Here are some of my favorites: "I am trying to calculate the total weight of 1,000 filled plastic eggs and trying to decide if I can lift them myself (if they all fit in one container)." "I asked my congregation to donate over 10,000 plastic eggs." "I just bought around $200 worth of chocolate chips and mini eggs." "I took buckets of sand from the playground (so people can walk through a tomb with their bare feet)." "Instead of a ball...

The Best Way to Reach Families this Easter
