Ideas for Celebrating of Creation and Resurrection
* Take a walk, a dance, or sing in the woods, in a nature park, a city park
or garden or along a river walk. Celebrate God’s creative expression
through nature.
* Find a place away from the city lights. Sit out under the stars and
contemplate the vastness of the universe, the smallness of man and yet
how great his love for man is.
* Celebrate the resurrection by watching the sunrise and compare it with the
new life Christ gives us.
* Have a resurrection breakfast. Invite friends over early in the morning to
watch the sunrise and then eat breakfast together.
* Put up a bird house, then watch to see if there will be new life hatching
within. (Making a birdhouse would also be a way to celebrate God’s
creative nature.)
* Plant a garden and celebrate as each new plant breaks through the ground
or buds. Do a little victory dance for your victory garden. Sing one of
Emmaus Roads favorite songs, Jesus by Page France.
* Read one of the resurrection stories in the gospels. As you read the story,
choose to become one of the characters in the story such John, Mary, Peter
or Thomas. Experience the sights they saw, the things they touched, the
smells they smelled. What emotions did they experience? Journal your
experience as one of those witnessing the resurrection.
* If you can get to a farm, watch chicks hatch or a lamb being born.
