  • Alleluia Butterflies – $16.99 from Illustrated Ministries
  • Easter Playlist – on Spotify by Sacred Ordinary Days
  • From Darkness to Light – Begin with dim or no lights. If streaming worship, invite congregants to light candles, inviting the Light of Christ. Do so on screen as well. Read the Easter story and gradually brighten lights as Mary and others begin to realize that Christ has risen.
  • Preach from outside (if weather allows). We might not have flowers in the sanctuary, but can you point to new shoots and other plants coming back to life in your yard?
