Easter is one of those times in the year where churches try to connect with those in their community who do not usually go to church.
In my experience, churches try to do things differently during Easter and Christmas. Sometime this involves singing different songs, having a special focus on welcoming and follow up of new people. Lots of churches try to show a video or two during the service.
If you want to do things differently, visually, he are some handy resources you can use. They are all free.
The Easter Story, by The Bible Society
You can download all of these for FREE by logging into vimeo.
Interactive Stories, by Church Media Videos
This is a little program you can download to use in your kids’ spot. It basically works as a animation creator. It is FREE, and is great for teaching bible stories to kids.

+1. If you’re using Luke’s account, you can’t go past the videos at http://sandbible.com/. Brilliant way to do bible readings this Easter.
Not free, but you’re supporting a fantastic Aussie ministry (and an MTC grad).
