Help families to think about the meaning of Easter by reading the Bible and filling treasure boxes to remind them of how much God loves them. Pray that families will meet with God and be transformed by him as they read.     Preparation:   Make up packs for each family. Each family will need a pack containing: The Jesus Storybook Bible, available from SUNZ for $19.99 A copy of the bookmark ( Click here to download it from our Easter Dropbox Folder).  A beautiful little treasure box for each child.  A set of miniature items for each child to put in their box: gold heart, world globe, plastic flower, baby doll, jewel like bead, silver coin, glow-in-the-dark moon, cross, stone, card with John 14:6 printed on it, mirror. You can buy these from places like Spotlight and discount stores, or print pictures of these objects out
