Here are some great resources that you may find useful in planning for this Easter.
The Comeback
As God’s people, we have a sure hope that whatever darkness we might be feeling now, Easter is just around the corner and is a wonderful time for us to remember Jesus, the light of the world, making a way out of darkness for us. Try out this video on the Evangelical Alliance website:
My Hope is a series of evangelistic videos that are modern, relevant, short and punchy to get the message of Easter across. They are great to show online during meetings or at special events.
If you are looking for a creative Easter outreach event, Johnny Prime, one of FIEC’s Associate National Directors, has written a courtroom drama which could be the perfect fit. This is available as an online resource called “Who moved the Stone?”. It is performed by Christ Church, Dunstable with an evangelistic talk by Johnny at the end. It imagines one of the Roman soldiers from the tomb being put on trial for failing to guard the tomb. It goes through the witnesses to the cross and resurrection and ends up with a modern day witness who gives her testimony to knowing the Lord Jesus. It is accessible from FIEC’s website and is available free of charge to downloaded and used by local churches. https://fiec.org.uk/resources/putting-easter-on-trial
Bible Society have many resources for Easter & Lent. Lent is a time of reflection when we journey with Jesus on His path to the cross and celebrate His resurrection. Bible Society have a host of resources mainly for families to help you reflect and celebrate.

While we are unable to meet in our church buildings we can still be ‘Together at Home’. Together at Home are providing free resources for churches to share with their families to help them explore the Bible and learn about God together whilst in their own homes.
