About the It's Not Over! Easter Series

It's Not Over! is a four-week Easter Sunday School curriculum for children's ministry. It walks kids from the saddest Friday to Easter dawn: the quiet day Jesus was buried (Luke 23), the sealed tomb no guard could keep closed (Matthew 27), the parade that welcomed the King (Luke 19), and the happy morning that changed everything (Matthew 28). Teach it the four Sundays up to Easter, with Week 3 on Palm Sunday and Week 4 on Easter. Because the Bible teaching is about trusting the God who is still working, it fits any month of the year.

The full series ships in two editions, Kids (ages 6 to 12) and Preschool (ages 3 to 5). See the full series →
