Family Resources
At Easter, we make space for our children to remain in worship with their families. A Family + Faith approach encourages children to be present and participate in worship as much as possible through play. At the PrayGround, kids will find soft building blocks, soft animals, felt boards, and more.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs." (Matthew 19:14)

Parent Resources
Spark Boxes
Pick up a Spark Box before worship located outside the worship spaces. Spark boxes encourage hands on learning/listening through play. Items in the Spark Box are geared for children 3 – 6 years old.
Calming Corner
This is a place in the Family Lounge at Easter by the Lake for caregivers to give their children a pause using simple body movements and breathing techniques. Parents/caregivers can find great ideas to add to your own parental tool kit.
Prayground
Great Room at Easter by the Lake and Sanctuary at Easter on the Hill Kids 4 years old and under will enjoy playing while watching and listening.
Family Lounge
At Easter, we encourage families to worship together as much as possible, but we know sometimes children have extra wiggles and giggles. In the Family Lounge, parents/caregivers can listen to worship while their child is playing. You will also find a baby changing area too.
