1. Invite someone to Easter dinner at your house<\/h4>\n

Easter dinner is a wonderful tradition that brings the whole family together for good food and cherished memories. Why not share the love this season? Make a tradition of inviting someone to your Easter dinner every year. Pick one of your kids\u2019 friends, a coworker, a friend you haven\u2019t seen in a while, or a neighbor. Keep in mind that holidays can be lonely when someone doesn\u2019t have family to spend it with. Share the gift of your family with someone else. Plus, sometimes it\u2019s a rare treat for folks to have a home cooked meal. Even if your family traditionally heads to a restaurant for Easter, you can still invite someone along.<\/p>\n

2. Ask someone to go to church with you on Easter Sunday<\/h4>\n

Does your family have a tradition of attending church service on Easter Sunday? Every year, invite someone you know who goes to church alone or wants to attend a service in a new place. Ask them about the traditions at their own church or the kind of Easter services they attended as a child. Share what your own church does so they can get excited. For example, many churches have dramas about the Easter story<\/a> or special choral presentations. It\u2019s a great time to take a friend with you to hear the message of Easter.<\/p>\n

3. Take a meal to someone alone on Easter<\/h4>\n

Many of us know someone\u2014a neighbor, a coworker, a family friend\u2014who will be spending Easter alone. Even if you are not able to invite them to join your own festivities, you can still brighten their day with acts of kindness on Easter. Find out their favorite foods and cook them a delicious Easter meal. Drop it off on Easter Sunday morning and spend some time with them before heading to your own celebrations.<\/p>\n
