Without Easter, there is no life after this one. As Paul wrote to the Corinthians, followers of Jesus should be pitied more than anyone if our hope is only for this life. But “the last enemy to be destroyed is death,” and “in fact Christ has been raised from the dead” (1 Corinthians 15:16-26).
Standing in the Easter hope of new life, our urban church partners want to bring that hope to children in the inner city. Each year, Cru® Inner City supports these church partners with materials and training, knowing that each Easter Bag is an opportunity to share the hope of Jesus and connect a child and their family to a local church.
Nearly 9 million children across the United States are living in poverty.
For more than 30 years, we’ve helped deliver Easter Bags to the kids who need them most in the inner city. Each Easter Bag is an opportunity to share the hope of Jesus and connect a child and their family to a local church.
For $10.50, you can provide a child with an Easter Bag, helping them and their family connect to a local church and to the hope we have in Easter.
Easter Bags are bright packages filled with fun treats, along with a clear and impactful presentation of the gospel message. They include:
Easter Treats
Crayons
Small Toy
Gospel Bracelet
Book of Hope
The Gospel bracelet explains God’s plan to reconcile the world to himself, and the Book of Hope is a Bible story book created for children in the inner city.
