Easter Ideas For My Neighbour
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
Celebrating the resurrection of Jesus at Easter provides Christians with a unique opportunity to share the love of Jesus with others. Many of our neighbours who have no faith at all will be acknowledging Easter in some way, and this provides us with opportunities to share more about the true meaning of Easter and the hope that it brings.
Easter Postcards
We are excited to announce that we're making our Easter postcards available once more!
Why not write Easter postcards to your friends, neighbours, and those living in care homes local to you?
10 postcards per person are free to order, please send an email to [email protected]. Â Voluntary donations to help cover costs are always welcome.
The Real Easter Egg
What a delightful way to knock on your older neighbour's door - bringing Good News AND chocolate!
We also know of a church which buys one of these for every care home resident in their neighbourhood - great idea.
The Real Easter Egg inlcudes an Easter story book in the box, helping you to share the real meaning of Easter.
Help bring DailyHOPE
The number (0800 804 8044) of our free phone line DailyHOPE is the ideal resource to share with older Christians and faith explorers who are offline and homebased this Easter. Share the hope of Jesus.
Printable flyers can be downloaded here.
Making the Easter Connection
How can we know God? How can we know what he is like?
These are just two questions many people frequently ask. In this book, J.John unpacks these questions and helps us see that God reveals himself and wants us to connect and interact with him.
This Easter, why not help your older neighbour discover something more about who God really is and exactly how he feels about them? More info and orders here.
Get Ready to Invite!
Easter Sunday and some of the church activities around the celebration are often brilliant opportunities for older friends and neighbours who are unfamiliar with church to come and explore what it's all about.
Some churches print special invitation cards for members to share with neighbours. If yours doesn't, why not send an Easter Card and include your own invitation?
Easter Resources from Torch Trust
If your older neighbour lives with sight loss, you'll find some helpful Easter resources in braille and large print in their online shop.
Torch also offer information and help for those supporting someone with sight loss.
Good News Newspaper - Easter Edition
Good News inlcudes true stories of how God is changing the lives of those who put their trust in his Son, Jesus. Using jargon-free language, it also explains how everyone can find a personal relationship with Jesus.
What a great idea to share with your neighbours, especially those who are not online. Find out more and order here.
Palm Cross and Easter Story Card
CPO have a whole range of Easter resources to share with our neighbours, inlcuding this palm cross and card.
The card helps explain what happened on the significant days of Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday, and paired with a palm cross makes for an ideal neighbourly giveaway.
