Your church is encouraged to invite local schools to visit during the
lead up to Easter to take part in workshops (craft, drama etc)
exploring the Easter story, using a resource created jointly by London
Diocese and CMS.
The modern representation of the Easter story
comes in photographic form, made by young people in London with
photographer Dennis Morris.
"The aim is to help young people
engage with the Easter story and make connections with their own
lives," explains the Rev Anita Matthews from the CMS Youth and
Children's team. "We hope that it will resource many people in telling
the Easter story and exploring what it means in a fresh and creative
way."
The Easter resource has been sent to every church in London Diocese along with a box of supporting artefacts. Churches are being encouraged to invite local schools to come into the church during Holy Week (or in the preceding weeks) and take part in workshops (craft, drama etc) exploring the Easter story.
There are also assembly ideas for use before and after Easter to support and strengthen existing school links and initiate new ones.
CMS has part funded the resource (thanks to a grant from the Westhill Foundation) and is publicising the resource to primary schools and churches nationwide.
We can offer you all the resources (apart from the artefacts boxes, which are very easy for schools or churches to make up for themselves – see the pack for details) for FREE in the form of downloads from the CMS website. Alternatively you can purchase from the CMS shop for £8 + p&p.
The resource is highly flexible (the workshops and assemblies can stand alone or be used as part of the whole package) and adaptable for use in schools, or in churches (all-age worship, young people’s groups). We hope that it will resource many people in telling the Easter story and exploring what it means in a fresh and creative way.
Enjoy using it!
