Here is part two for Holy Week and Easter. The video can be watched at any point during the week or even on Easter day. It is explaining to the kids about the Easter Story, from Jesus' entry into Jerusalem to his death, burial and resurrection, using Resurrection Eggs.
I have a few links for ideas of activities for Holy Week. Included in the link is one to make your own Resurrection Eggs.
My heart, love, and prayers go out to all of you! Please know I am here whenever you need me. The church is using Zoom for Adult Forum (Sundays 9:30-10:30am) and Coffee Hour (Sundays 11:00am-12:00pm) and anyone is welcome to join. The E-tower has the meeting link, id and password.
I would love to see the kids make their crafts and play the game. When you are done please tag St. James on Facebook with videos or pictures. If you don't have Facebook, or not sure how to, send it to me and I will post it.
We made Alleluia Butterflies to be displayed in our garden on Easter day but since we will not be together, I'd love if you would have the kids make their own and display them in your yards! A link for the activity is included below.
Blessings,
Chelsea Whipple Director of Programs
P.S. - I'm out of my element on making videos, and I cannot not be silly. So have a laugh and enjoy Easter! There is a special appearance of two voyagers at the end.
Mission Commander & EP3-20 tell the Easter Story using Resurrection Eggs.
Alleluia Butterflies
Display them in your garden to celebrate Easter! Just as a caterpillar changes form to a butterfly, we change form in Christ!

Template for the Butterfly The kids can be as creative as they want. In Sunday school we just colored and then I glued popsicle sticks to stick in the ground. They can be taped to doors, windows, planted in gardens, wherever you'd like!
A great website for many activities that are relevant to kids and is an Episcopal resource is:

VBS 2020!
Drum roll please.......!
Grab your armor and join us for VBS 2020, a journey that's never been done before!
Come travel the land of North Castle hidden in a frozen land. The King's valiant Knights are on a quest in search of the King's Armor. Kids will take on the role of brave Knights and begin their quest for each session by opening the King's Book. Help kids take up the gauntlet this summer and accept the challenge to "armor up" and be strong by remaining with God.
If you are interested in being part of this ministry please email
Chelsea. We are currently need of a coordinator willing to gather parents interested. For the time being there will be space marked off in the lounge for parents interested in meeting each other. Parents can also take quiet time in the Sanctuary or join in Adult Forum in the Guild Hall.
This only marks key dates pertinent to the children and parents. There are additional activities. Please check the
St. James Calendar for more information.
