The Thursday before Easter is called Maundy
Thursday. "Maundy"
comes from a latin word that means commandment. On the Thursday before he
died, Jesus commanded his friends to love one another.
Maundy Thursday can be a special time for letting others know that we care
about them. Here are some ideas:
1. Collect cans or newspapers for recycling. Donate any money you earn to
local groups that help needy people.
2. When your family buys the food for your Easter dinner, ask if you can pick up extra
canned meat and vegetables and packaged desserts. Donate these to a food pantry.
3. Donate pet food to an animal shelter. (Call first to see what they like to feed the
animals)
4. Fill a basket with treats and toys. Take it to the children's unit of a hospital to be
handed out on Easter morning.

1. Carefully break an egg in half. Use the
insides for cooking and clean the shell completely.
2. Paint the inside and outside of the shell with poster paint or decorate with colored
markers.
3. Glue a small, store-bought chick in each of the egg shells.
4. Make enough for each of your friends or guests, or take a basketful of chick in and egg
decorations to a retirement home or hospital.
