Resurrection Sunday
Philippians 2:9-11
Jesus’ death and resurrection is the center of the gospel (the Good News). In Adam, we were spiritually dead in sin, but Jesus died to pay for our sins. Jesus is alive! God gives new life to everyone who trusts in Jesus.

In Action
Use chairs and tables to provide structure for a pillow fort. Stack pillows or cushions against the furniture and drape blankets over the structure to make a kind of “cave.” Allow the kids to take turns going into the cave. To ensure everyone’s safety, do not allow any kids to play unsupervised in the pillow fort and ensure no adult leader enters the fort one-on-one with a kid.
Say
Jesus died on the cross and was buried in a tomb. Jesus’ tomb would have been kind of like a cave; the Bible tells us it was cut into the side of a rocky hill. We took turns going into out little tomb and coming out, and today we will hear about how Jesus came out of His tomb. A little while later, some other people also went in the tomb and came out.
