Pre-Easter Events

One of my friends, Ashley, e-mailed me a week's worth of activities to get "spiritually ready" for Easter. Each evening's activity involved a short program with a particular Easter song, a picture from the Gospel Art Picture Kit, and some little game or activity. If you're interested in following some of these ideas for your own Easter celebration next year, click here.

Tuesday night we had a dinner of the type that Christ might have eaten. Attendees were required to dress up, and we ate on the floor, like a picnic. Our menu was "lamb kabobs", salad with a vinaigrette dressing, hard boiled eggs, raisins, grape juice, olives, and flat bread. It wasn't an authentic passover dinner, but there were some elements that were similar.

It was fun--plus we learned a lot about Christ's life the week before his crucifiction and resurrection.

Lachlan tried everything--even the kalmata olives.
I did go to a lot of work to put this dinner on, so much so, that we never made time to decorate Easter Eggs. In fact, I completely forgot about making Easter Dinner until the evening before Easter!
