Easter Story Cookies

We usually give this out to the preschool kids each year, but since we can't this year, I thought that I'd share it here instead. Please feel free to copy and paste to share!

Easter Story Cookies

To be made the evening before Easter

You need:

1 cup whole pecans zipper baggie

1 tsp. vinegar wooden spoon

3 egg whites tape

pinch salt Bible

1 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Place pecans in zipper baggie and let children beat them with the wooden spoon to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested, He was beaten by the Roman soldiers. Read John 19:1-3.

Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1 tsp. vinegar into mixing bowl. Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross, He was given vinegar to drink. Read John 19:28-30. Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus gave His life to give us life. Read John 10:10-11.

Sprinkle a little salt into each child’s hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus’s followers, and the bitterness of our own sin. Read Luke 23:27.

So far, the ingredients are not very appetizing. Add 1 cup sugar. Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to know and belong to Him. Read Psalms 34:8 and John 3:16.

Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed. Explain that the color white represents the purity in God’s eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus. Read Isaiah 1:18 and John 1:1-3.

Fold in the broken nuts. Drop mixture by teaspoons onto wax paper-covered cookie sheet. Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus’s body was laid. Read Matthew 27:57-60.

Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door, and turn the oven OFF. Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door. Explain that Jesus’s tomb was sealed. Read Matthew 27:65-66.

GO TO BED! Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight. Jesus’s followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. Read John 16:20 and 22.

On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the first Easter Jesus’s followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty. Read Matthew 28:1-9.

Easter Party and Spring Mill Field Trip Reminders

The Easter Party will be tomorrow, Thursday, April 18th.  There are currently 22 people in the class.  Will the following children please bring a special snack:  Logan Sims, Michael Thompson, Allie Turner, Silas Widau, Kinzley Chastain, and Nolan Melton.

Next Thursday, April 25^th, is our field trip to Spring Mill from 9:00 to 2:00.  Please let us know by Tuesday, April 23^rd, if you can drive and help us.  We still need help.  Everyone needs to bring a sack lunch and 2 cans of pop or juice.  This is our only field trip.
