An Easter Celebration for Kids
Kathie Hill and Melody Morris
Got eight weeks? Need a kid's Easter musical? You can do it and do it well with Good News from a Grave from Kathie Hill Music. Re-teaming with co-writer Melody Morris (Fish Tales and Promise U) Kathie relates the events from Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday in the very setting where the resurrection occurred - a graveyard! For their "Saturday Service," kids are helping the caretaker at Good News Gardens prepare for the annual Easter sunrise service. As they rake, sweep, scrub and clip, the children recall the highlights of the Passion Week with joyous, high-energy songs, ranging from Broadway to hip hop to salsa and thoughtful compositions detailing Jesus' suffering and sacrifice for our sins. This highly evangelistic musical details Jesus' last days and will help children fully appreciate the gospel, the Good News from a Grave!

Kathie's Note: This is a great, short Easter musical with a very contemporary feel. You can perform it outside so it works for presentations outside the church. Easy dialogue makes it work for small choirs or for big choirs with a short rehearsal period. Very clever choreography on the video and funny twist at the end. My favorite songs are “J-E-S-U-S, He’s the Best”, “ Nobody Else But Jesus” and “ The Cross Crosses Out My Sin” is a GREAT evangelical song.

Saturday Service • He's the Best • Ho-ho-ho-sanna! • Nobody Else But Jesus • The Cross Crosses Out My Sin • Nothing's Impossible and Good News from a Grave - Finale
