Easter Plans for next year

Next year we are going to try and follow the whole Easter week as a family.

Here are my current thoughts to be flushed out.
  1. Palm Sunday- maybe talk about being ready for the Lord when He comes again, are we making Him our King now in our life?
  2. Discuss His cleansing of the Temple of the money changers- note that this time He calls the Temple His House rather than His Father's house. Maybe talk about how we can be temples for the Holy Spirit but must be clean and cleanse ourselves of unrighteousness through His atoning sacrifice. Or talk about how money is necessary but it can encroach on the important things of Life, like our worship.
  3. The Passover- maybe talk about how the Lord has saved people temporally in the past with spiritual overtones of salvation to come.
  4. The washing of his apostles feet (service), the institution of the Sacrament or Communion (Lord's Supper), the suffering in the Garden, betrayal, false accusations, etc. –all one day!!! wow.
  5. Christ’s trial, scourging and death.
  6. His preaching to those who died without the gospel (why don’t you hear about this much in most churches?, here and here).
  7. His resurrection!!! -discuss how we live to honor Him.
Any Comments are welcome. My thoughts is this would be like an 'Advent calendar' but shortened to a week, the last week before the resurection.
