ACHS Children's Ministry

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.  Matthew 19:14

Easter & Pentecost for Children

Currently, our congregational makeup means we don't yet have a pressing need for a children's ministry.  But, we are developing our children's ministry for the day the Lord brings young families into our Christian fellowship.  For now, when a family visits who has young children we do have seasonally appropriate Bible-based activities for the children so they can develop their faith alongside the adult congregation.

Below you will find a section devoted to each of the activities found in our Pew Activities folder each child can do during church and take home with them.  If you have any questions, please feel free to connect with us and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Easter Pew Book
These are a great tool to frame the concept of Easter for grades 2-5.  The activities are coloring book style to allow for the young Christian to color and make those connections between reading and doing.  Everything clipped to the clipboard is a gift for the child to take home after church.

What's Inside
The story of the Resurrection is a coloring book and tells the story of the women's, Mary the Mother of James, Mary Magdalene, and Salome, approach to the tomb and then finding that the Angel has rolled the stone away to reveal the empty tomb.  They learn that Jesus isn't there because HE IS RISEN!
There a several puzzle activities–a maze leading from the cross to the empty tomb; count and color; and word search.  There is also a color by number and a memory game to cut and play at home.
And centrally, the Pew Book has finger puppets and empty tomb backdrop.  This is an activity to finish at home (it requires scissors and adhesive).  The idea is that with the finger puppets (which can also be used on the tabletop) are a tangible means to act out and participate in the resurrection story.  There are puppets representing Jesus, each of the three women, and two angels.  The backdrop is the tomb.  When the tab on the right is pulled, the empty tomb is revealed.  The characters and backdrop match the Easter Story booklet.

Mom's are so special not only to us but the God–even Christ had an earthly Mother!  This activity is a lady love bug for the child to make and give to mom.
