Easter Treasure Hunt

Each year the congregation and children are invited to go back in time to learn about Jesus’ amazing life! This is a tradition for families as they prepare for Holy Week traveling through Jerusalem with a young boy during the last week of Jesus’ life. The Easter Treasure Hunt is based on the book, Benjamin’s Box, by Melody Carlson. Each year the activities are new.

Each family is given an empty treasure box, and they pick up “treasures” and make crafts reminding them of the happy, sad, bittersweet and joyful times leading to the marvelous Resurrection. Breakfast snacks and Easter egg coloring also are enjoyed.

Although children love the story because it is told from the perspective of a young boy, the event is for everyone in the congregation, whether young or old, single, married, with children, or without!  Share the message with someone you love; friends and neighbors also are welcome.
