Community Connection ~ April 13, 2025: Easter Traditions

We know how powerful traditions are in creating your family’s story. During Advent, we shared Christmas traditions that have shaped the stories of our Desert Mission families; as we near the end of Lent, contemplate your family’s Easter traditions - or start a new one!

Spend some time this week thinking of Easters you have spent with those you love. Are there things you have done together year after year? Things you’ve done only once but that you found especially meaningful? If something comes to mind, do it again this year, with the intention of making it a tradition.

If nothing comes to mind, get creative! Easter traditions can be so much more than egg hunts and Easter baskets, though there is a reason those things are so popular. Perhaps you’ll plant something new in your garden every year around this time, or perhaps you’ll wake up early on Easter morning and greet the sun together, whether or not you make it to the sunrise service.

Whatever you choose to do, take the opportunity to add another chapter to your family’s story - and be sure to share your Easter traditions with us! You can connect with us on Facebook or Instagram.
