Here are a few faith-filled activities that go beyond Sunday morning as you usher in this Easter season. If you have more ideas, or would like to share a tradition that your family shares on Easter, please post a comment below.

1. Help your little ones stuff hollow plastic eggs with one chocolate heart, because Jesus came to give us a new heart toward God. Then allow your little one to hand them out to friends, neighbors, or family during the day. You might include a note inside with the passage from John 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.” – Jesus

2. Instead of candy, purchase a set of Resurrection Eggs. These colorful plastic eggs offer an engaging way to communicate the powerful story of the death and resurrection of Christ to young children.

When We Meet

MOPS stands for Mother of Preschoolers and is a program designed to nurture mothers with children from infancy to kindergarten.

MOPS meetings are held the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. at First Reformed Church, 3060 Wilson Avenue in Grandville from October-May and women of all ages and backgrounds are invited to join us.

MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy to kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs. Our MOPS group provides an open, caring and accepting atmosphere for today’s mothers to grow and share their experiences with other women.
