“So Much Bigger Than The Bunny”: The Backstory

When Josh came to me in 2009 and talked about the “Holy Week” that was right around the corner, and that he had some activities he wanted to implement in our family devotions to help our kids grasp what this season is really about, I had NO IDEA what Holy Week even was. The story of how the devotional "So Much Bigger Than The Bunny" came to be. A Lent and Easter resource for you and your kids. At kidsintheword.net. We dove in head first and after researching it myself I had my own ideas to add to the table. We had our entire week planned out and had a blast with the kids putting everything into play. In fact, this week has become one of our family’s all-time favorite times of the year! After participating in and blogging about our family activities for Holy Week we began to get a lot of feedback and questions about how we did our activities. Other resources we used? Key instructions for how it all tied into Easter Sunday? All this got the wheels in my head turning. I could just write it all down in one place so everyone would have a guide to use with their family as well. Once I got to work on writing it all out, my husband, a worship leader and songwriter, got his melodies in gear and wrote a song to go along with each week. Christmas is a great time of year, don’t get me wrong, but Easter is the event that sets our God high above all the rest! He has conquered death and has been made a savior for all mankind. Please join us on February 18, 2015, at the beginning of Lent season, to bring this world-changing event to life for your kids! Because Easter is so much bigger than the bunny!

About Tasha Via

I'm a mom of 5. I take pride in finally figuring out a good routine to this new "normal", but then the kids wake up and reality really begins!
I am madly in love with the worship pastor at my church and proudly call him my baby's daddy.
I am learning to become still in this life so addicted to instant gratification.
I am still becoming who God is calling me to be...
I Like:
cleaning and organizing the house, rearranging furniture to confuse my family,
sneaking cuddles from my boys, trying to fix the girls hair without a fight,
eating butterfingers, and blogging about the family at www.tashavia.com

    My daughter turns 2 this year, so this is the first Holy week that she will really start to understand what it’s about. This would be a great resource for me to use to help teach her!

    Since my one child is grown, I now celebrate now with my “church kids”(5-7 yr old) in my Sunday school class.We are an inner city church that get a lot of “drop off” children. We learn about the real meaning of Holy Week and Resurrection Sunday. I try not to spoil their fun on that day by letting them know there is nothing wrong with candy and egg hunts but since this is the only exposure to Jesus Christ that they will receive. It’s amazing!

    On Good Friday we spend the day quiet and in prayer and reading selected books and passages from the bible. Easter is a day of celebrating here and we go for breakfast at with family and go to church and then usually come home and do fun things with the kids. This year we hope to add some new traditions and go deeper into the meanings of the time.
