What goes in an Easter program

An Easter Sunday program centers on the order of worship — the sequence of the celebration service — plus the resurrection scripture, hymns, and the message. Add a warm welcome for visitors (Easter draws many first-timers), any Communion notes, and seasonal announcements like a sunrise service or fellowship meal. Close with your church name, service times, and website so guests can return.

Welcoming Easter visitors

Easter and Christmas bring the most visitors of the year. A clear, welcoming program helps first-timers follow the service and feel at home: spell out the order of worship, keep headings simple, and add a short welcome line and your service times. A good program quietly invites guests to come back the following week.

Print enough for a full sanctuary

Easter attendance often doubles a typical Sunday, so print extra. Export a print-ready PDF and run copies on your church copier, or send the file to a local print shop for a larger, urgent run. Letter-size programs fold in half for a classic four-panel bulletin.
