Experience Easter with Children
An exciting way for churches to share
The Easter story with children from local primary schools
This pack, produced by Shahne Vickery, the Diocesan Primary Schools Adviser, Gloucester Diocese, is an imaginative approach to help children experience the Easter story through six easy to assemble, interactive stations set up in different parts of the church.Feedback from churches using Experience Easter with Children have included:
“It was not just the children who were captivated; it was a time of reflection for adults too.”
“The atmosphere was wonderful …a real buzz,yet quietly intense.”
“When we look back in years to come I believe that our experience will prove to be one of those seminal moments in the life of the parish.”
Classes from the local primary school will be invited by the clergy to visit the church where in small groups they will be guided by a leader from the school around each station. Using a similar format to Pause for Reflection, with which schools are already familiar, the pack gives detailed instructions to church members to enable them to create the stations. Also included are careful instructions to help the school group leaders introduce and reflect on each part of the story.
