A great ministry project for spring time is to create an Easter Basket for a senior adult or a shut-in. Holidays can often be a tough time for our senior adults who have lost a spouse and are living alone. Having your family or Preschool/Children’s Sunday school Class gather items to put in a basket is a great way to bless them and it provides an opportunity for our kids to learn how to minister.
Below are some examples of items to include in the basket:
Easter grass
Hand soap
Lip balm
Hand lotion
Tissues
Hand sanitizer
Note cards
Easter candy
Cross word puzzles
Candle
Card(s) created by the children
Easter plant/flower
Adult coloring book
Colored pencils
Nail polish
A small gift card
Some favorite coffee/tea
Once you have collected the items and assembled the basket, find a time to deliver it as a family or Sunday school Class. It will make their day!
