Tips for an Easter Devotional / Presentation

Note: Graphic taken from Annie's Easter Welcome Page.

As we enter the Lenten Season and approach Palm Sunday and then Easter Sunday, we would like to encourage you to use this special time to focus the attention of the residents on the Cross of Jesus Christ.

This Easter Season Web Page has information and resources for both Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. The residents will certainly appreciate a service with elements of the rich Christian Tradition in which they were raised. Consider bringing in a large wooden cross and giving out fresh palm items on Palm Sunday.

We suggest using a reading from the book "The Final Week of Jesus" by Max Lucado, published by Multnomah. There are devotionals for each day of the week leading up to and including Easter, and it is available new and used from Abe Books and Amazon.

Celebrate Palm Sunday with the residents with a special sermonette and by giving them gifts made from fresh palm such as crosses or bookmarkers. Visit Annie's Palm Sunday Page for some great ideas and information.
