Did you know?

• Over 500 people saw Jesus alive between the time of His resurrection and His ascension into heaven.

Connect as a family

Your child can understand simple comparisons. Play “full or empty” using a box with a lid and some familiar household objects to help your child begin to understand the empty tomb.

• Why wasn’t Jesus in the tomb?

• Because He is alive!

Blessing

Blessings are often used in the Bible. A blessing can be a prayer of commission, a portion of Scripture, or words to encourage and guide.

A blessing to pray over your child; (Child’s name), Jesus is alive! May you know His great love for you today and always.
