Find Easter Bulletins for Church that Celebrate the Resurrection
Easter Sunday is the most festive holiday on the church calendar. Christians worldwide gather to celebrate Jesus, our risen Savior, and the new life he offers. Easter joy abounds as people in full pews proclaim together, “He is risen indeed!”
On Resurrection Sunday, your church might offer sunrise gatherings, Easter brunch, special music, and an egg hunt for children — in addition to traditional and contemporary Easter worship. All these activities attract many visitors, as well as long-time members who may have been away for a while.
Recognize the Significance of Easter Bulletins
Because Easter is a high-attendance Sunday, the bulletin you choose serves as a key point of contact. It makes a first impression, providing information and hospitality to guests. Most importantly, you can share the gospel through attractive bulletin visuals and faith-based messaging.

A thoughtfully chosen bulletin cover for Easter prepares people for worship. Through content and artwork, these handouts announce that the Resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith. By rising from the dead, Jesus Christ conquered sin and death, offering new life to all who believe (see Romans 6:4).
Let’s explore pointers for picking an Easter bulletin that reflects the season’s message. Learn how a few simple design decisions can help people feel welcomed, hopeful, and ready to worship.
Know What Makes an Easter Bulletin Meaningful
Bulletins for Easter should look great while reinforcing the joyful message of Christ’s victory. Because the day’s biblical message is so profound, your church’s visual communications should reflect Easter’s significance and beauty.
As a first touchpoint for visitors and members, the bulletin conveys what your congregation believes and values. A well-chosen Easter bulletin sets an emotional tone, from joyful and celebratory to reverent and contemplative. Bulletins for Easter also reveal your church’s personality and culture, whether traditional, creative, modern, or family-focused. And visual cues throughout the inside pages ensure that newcomers can follow along in worship.

With church communications, guests tend to notice two things: visuals and clarity. So consider whether your Easter bulletin has an eye-catching design and connects to the season. Then review the content to make sure everything is clear and cohesive.
How to Pick the Best Bulletin Cover for Easter Morning
A meaningful bulletin cover is more than a nice visual. Easter imagery should reinforce the biblical message of hope and salvation. Use these tips to choose and customize Easter bulletins for your church:
- Tie together the Scripture message and the look. Choose a cover that highlights a key Resurrection passage. When Easter bulletin art matches the sermon Bible passage, the worship experience is more memorable. For example, pair “He has risen!” with an image of the empty tomb (Matthew 28:6). Show a sunrise over a hill to symbolize new life (Mark 16:2). A cross next to blooming flowers represents victory over death (1 Peter 1:3).
- Use color, symbolism, and seasonal art. Easter art traditionally incorporates white, gold, and pastels — colors associated with purity, victory, and joy. Lilies, butterflies, open tombs, doves, and light rays all reflect biblical themes of life and renewal. Seasonal Easter collections from ChurchArt Online make it easy to pick bulletin covers with rich Bible-based meanings.

- Match the style to your church’s brand. Traditional congregations often use lilies, crosses, stained glass, or sunrise landscapes. Contemporary churches might lean toward bold color palettes or abstract Resurrection imagery. Family-oriented or children’s ministries may prefer kid-friendly art featuring bright colors and simple visual metaphors such as butterflies. ChurchArt Online provides a range of options — classic, modern, and playful — to fit your congregation’s style.
- Keep bulletin covers clear and readable. Even the most beautiful cover must be functional. Choose designs with clear focal imagery, readable title text, and a welcoming feel. Save room for the church name and date, without crowding the layout.
- Match the design to your service theme. Consider the Scripture or sermon topic your pastor is using for Holy Week and Easter. For a message on John 20, an empty tomb works well. If the topic is Isaiah 53 and Christ’s sacrifice, try a cross-themed design for Good Friday heading into Easter Sunday. With the thousands of bulletin covers in the ChurchArt Online library, you can easily search for bulletins containing photos, illustrations, or text treatments about the Resurrection.
- Balance bulletin art with the inside layout. Consider how the cover art interacts with the rest of the pages. If the cover is vibrant and detailed, keep the interior clean and simple. If the cover is minimalistic, include more color inside.
More Layout Tips for Easter Worship Bulletins
Bulletins aren’t just decorative. Beyond the artwork, they walk worshipers through the service and orient your guests. Consider these logistics:
- Use clean typography, spacing, and flow. Choose legible fonts that reinforce the tone of your cover art without distracting from the message. Keep the text organized, with clear section titles (Welcome, Order of Worship, Announcements, Prayer Requests, and so on).
- Provide plenty of white space. The inside pages should have generous margins and spacing. Avoid boxing a bunch of items on the same page. Visual clutter is frustrating, and people might miss your message.
- Prioritize what you present. Too much information feels overwhelming, especially to visitors. So resist the urge to cram every announcement into the Easter bulletin. Instead, provide the essentials for Easter morning. Then point people to the church website for more details.
- Guide readers’ eyes to what matters most. Use bold headings, consistent alignment, and visual cues. Can visitors quickly find the order of worship and follow along? Are the Scripture readings easy to locate? Is the Resurrection message front and center? Have you invited guests to return?
