More than simply filling programming time slots this Easter, we want to make an impact in the lives of the kids and families we serve. But making a meaningful impact on a budget can be hard.
But it’s now possible with the Connected Easter series and Around the Table: A Taste of Passover event bundle.
For $99 (now $49.50), leaders have access to 5 weeks of fully resourced lessons from the Wonder Ink series, Connected Easter, that includes activities for families to do together at home during the week. Plus, you get a fully resourced guide for leading a Passover Seder, including promotional materials and welcome video.
Celebrate Jesus this Easter with a “taste” of a Jewish Seder meal, looking to our Savior!
Connected Easter: What’s the Story?
Easter Children’s Ministry Lessons
This 5-part series helps toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary kids walk through what it looks like for God to show up, promise His presence, and make the way where there was none. They will connect the long journey of God’s people from slavery to freedom, from Moses and the Israelites in Egypt to the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Jesus is alive, and because of Him we can transition from slavery to freedom, from death to life—now those are connections worth celebrating!
Death could not keep Jesus in the ground. He is too powerful!
- Lesson 1 is about the burning bush (Exodus 3) and how God hears and see His people.
- Lesson 2 shares the story of the crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 13-15) and how God rescues His people.
- Lesson 3 features the story of holy week (John 12-13; 19) and how Jesus loves us and gave His life for us.
- Lesson 4 celebrates the resurrection (John 20) as kids celebrate that Jesus lives!
- Lesson 5 covers the road to Emmaus (Luke 24) and how Jesus surprises us.
What’s Included in the Connected Easter Lesson Materials?
Each Wonder Ink lesson is divided into 4 sections: Curiosity, Belief, Faith, and Identity.
Curiosity
The curiosity lesson step is a multi-sensory object lesson, STEM experiment, or group activity that sparks curiosity, encourages exploration, and gets kids thinking about the wonder of God.
Belief
The belief lesson step is a deep and interactive dive into Scripture that guides kids into knowing God more deeply, exploring His Big Story, and marveling at His wonder.
Faith
The faith lesson step is an intentional conversation that helps kids see the wonder of God’s Story and how it connects to their own, emboldening their faith, and fostering a deeper understanding of their place in God’s kingdom.
Identity
The identity lesson step is an interactive response activity that ushers kids into worship and creates space for Him to remind them of these core truths: I am known by God, I am loved by Jesus, I am led by the Holy Spirit, and my life can tell of God’s wonder.
Jesus is alive, and because of Him, we can transition from slavery to freedom, from death to life.

Around the Table: A Taste of Passover Family Event
Easter Children’s Ministry Event
The Around the Table event is an event that aligns with the Wonder Ink Connected Easter lesson series.
Around the Table is a Seder Meal event that equips churches to lead families easily through an immersive retelling of the Passover story. This “taste” of Passover event creates a meaningful experience for the families in your ministry to connect the dots from the Exodus to Jesus’ resurrection. It draws on many of the customs practiced in traditional Jewish Seder meals, which utilize specific food items as symbols to help tell the story of redemption, and points throughout to Jesus, the Lamb of God whose sacrifice on the cross brings us freedom from sin!
In Hebrew, the word Seder (SAY-der) means “order.” A Passover Seder is a special meal in which the components and structure recall the Exodus—when God freed His people from slavery in Egypt. As Christians, whether Jewish or non-Jewish, we are invited to the Passover Seder table as a way of remembering God’s faithfulness throughout history and celebrating Jesus—the Lamb of God—whose death and resurrection make it possible for us to be part of God’s family now and forever.
The event kit is digital and customizable, and it includes everything you need to host the event.
