Easter Journey
Easter Journey is a presentation of the Easter story in a similar style to Christmas Journey. Christmas Journey has been put on for the past three years by Frodsham Churches Together for year 2 children from local primary schools. Easter Journey is designed for year 5 children.
Easter Journey 2008
Easter Journey is being presented again in 2008. For the second time, just before Easter, it will be the turn of Year 5 children to experience more about events in Jesus' life. They will be taking part in an Easter Journey to discover the things that happened during the week of Jesus' death. Through role-play, storytelling and listening they will travel through the palm-waving celebrations in Jerusalem of Palm Sunday and the clearing of market traders from the temple. Taking part in the last supper with the disciples, listening in on what happened in the Garden of Gethsemane and hearing about Jesus' cruel death on the cross on Good Friday, they will experience for themselves some of the emotions felt by those who knew Jesus well. The story doesn't end there of course and they will discover what happened three days later on the very first Easter morning when the tomb was found to be empty!
The journey will again be hosted by Main Street Community Church and Churches Together in Frodsham. We extend a warm welcome to anyone who would like to experience the journey for themselves on the evening of Tuesday March 18 at Main Street Community Church. The Journey is free and there will be two sessions, 7pm and 8pm, followed by refreshments.
Easter Journey 2007
The first Easter Journey presentations were on 27 and 28 March 2007. They were led by Martyn Payne of BRF Barnabas in Churches with a team working alongside, most of whom had been part of the Christmas Journey team.
They took part in an Easter Journey to discover the things that happened during the week of Jesus' death. These include:
- joining the palm-waving celebrations in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday,
- seeing the clearing of market traders from the temple,
- hearing the parable of the wicked tenants,
- experiencing the last supper with the disciples,
- listening in on what happened in the Garden of Gethsemane and
- hearing about Jesus' cruel death on a cross on Good Friday.
The story doesn't end there, of course. They also
- discover what happened three days later on the very first Easter morning, when the tomb was found to be empty!
You can see the illustrations from the take-home booklet.
And read Martyn Payne’s vivid description of the event (on the BRF/Barnabas in Churches web site).
