The Intergenerational Easter Resources linked below will help you celebrate Easter whether as a faith community or as an individual household. This includes ideas and resources for celebrating the whole fifty days of the Easter Season, not just Easter Sunday. There are resources for intergenerational worship and events, plus resources that you can share with households of all types and ages.
