Kids Celebrate Easter with Worship, Crafts & a Joyful Scavenger Hunt

Scottsdale, Arizona — North Scottsdale United Methodist Church warmly invites families to gather for a special Easter morning created with children in mind. “An Egg-ceptional Easter: Children’s Worship, Crafts, and Scavenger Hunt Adventure” will be held on Sunday, April 5, 2026, at 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM, offering a faith-filled and welcoming experience for children ages 2–12 at no cost.

Easter is a sacred day in the life of the Church—a day when we proclaim hope, renewal, and the promise of new life. At NSUMC, we believe children should experience that joy in ways that speak to their hearts and imaginations. This special morning gently weaves together worship, storytelling, creativity, and play, helping young families celebrate the resurrection in meaningful and memorable ways.

A Morning of Worship and Wonder

Children will begin in the sanctuary alongside the congregation, sharing in the opening moments of Easter worship. Together, they will hear the story of the resurrection presented in a way that is engaging, age-appropriate, and filled with wonder.

Following the children’s message, they will be invited to continue their celebration outdoors with the Sunday School teachers for a joyful Easter Scavenger Hunt on the church playground. Hundreds of eggs—each offering a small reminder of God’s promises—will be tucked throughout the space. Crafts and hands-on activities will celebrate the beauty of transformation and the joy of new beginnings—especially as each child designs and colors their very own Easter-themed kite to take home and launch into the sky, a bright and joyful reminder of resurrection hope soaring high.

A Message of Living Hope

Pastor Leah Bergstrom shares, “Easter reminds us that God brings light out of darkness and life out of what feels still and silent. Just as a butterfly emerges transformed, the resurrection assures us that God is always at work creating something beautiful and new.”

Inspired by 1 Peter 1:3 — “God has given us new life and a living hope through Jesus’ resurrection” — this celebration invites children and adults alike to rejoice in the steady, faithful love of God that surrounds us all.
