5 Creative Ways to Use Easter Tracts | Gospel Outreach Ideas - Eden.co.uk

5 practical and warm ways to use Easter tracts as natural conversation starters. Transforming a simple booklet into a meaningful bridge for sharing the hope of the Resurrection whether doing this with family and friends or at outreach events.

The Problem: A Message Too Good to Keep to Yourself

Every Easter, we celebrate the most pivotal moment in human history: the Resurrection. It is a season of hope, new life, and the promise of a fresh start.

This year Easter Sunday is 5th April 2026.

Yet, for many of us, the challenge isn’t believing the message—it’s knowing how to share it.

You want to invite your neighbours, friends, and community into the story of Jesus, but it can feel awkward to start the conversation. You don’t want to be pushy, but you don’t want to stay silent either.

The Solution: A Simple Tool for a Big Story

At Eden, we believe that sharing your faith should feel natural, not forced. Easter tracts are designed to bridge that gap. They act as a "soft entry" into deep conversations, providing a beautifully designed, biblically faithful summary of the Gospel that people can read in their own time.

5 Creative Ideas to Share the Gospel With Easter Tracts

1. The "Golden Egg" Community Hunt

Many UK churches host Easter egg hunts in local parks or churchyards. While the chocolate is the initial draw, you can add eternal value by including a small Easter booklet or Easter story book inside a larger "Golden Egg" or handing them out alongside the prizes. It ensures that every family goes home with more than just a sugar rush—they go home with the message of why we celebrate in the first place.

If you’re looking for Easter Eggs for your event then look no further than The Real Easter Egg - Fairtrade and delicious, with the Easter message at the forefront. We also stock the Sharing boxes which are ideal for Easter Egg hunts as well as the Easter Blessing chocolate bars which make great prizes too.

2. Easter "Act of Kindness Baskets" for Neighbours & Friends

Gift your neighbours and loved ones some joy this Easter.

A simple way to do this is by leaving a small basket of spring treats on a doorstep. Include some hot cross buns, a bunch of daffodils, a beautifully illustrated Easter tract with a handwritten Easter card.

It’s a non-intrusive way to say, "I’m thinking of you, and here is why this season matters to me." We’ve a great range of Easter cards that share the real message of Easter, featuring Bible verses and joyful designs both traditional and contemporary to suit every taste.

3. Partner with Local Businesses

Do you have a local café or farm shop that you frequent?

Many independent UK business owners are happy to have a small stack of seasonal booklets near the till or in the community noticeboard area—especially if the tracts are high-quality and visually appealing. It places the Gospel in the path of people going about their everyday lives.

Establishing a relationship with local businesses may also open up doors for sharing and advertising your Easter outreach events.

4. The "Table Talker" for Easter Sunday Lunch

If you are hosting friends or family who don’t usually attend church, use a tract as a place setting. Choose a booklet with a compelling cover and place it on the dinner plate. It often serves as a natural conversation starter during the meal, allowing you to share what the Resurrection means to you personally in a relaxed, hospitable environment.

We’ve a wide range of Easter tracts with different designs and focus, allowing you to choose the right tract for you. We also have short evangelistic books that go a little deeper without being threatening or too meaty for example the bestseller: The Man on the Middle Cross, which does just that - Kenn, an Eden Customer shared his 5 star review “An excellent book to give away & encourage someone.”

5. Sharing Hope Through the Letterbox

We often wait for people to come to us, but the Great Commission calls us to go. Take a Saturday morning to walk through your local street, popping a "Happy Easter" card and a tract through letterboxes. In a world of digital noise, a physical piece of literature that speaks of hope and peace can be a powerful "interrupt" to someone’s day.

Making the Right Choice

Not every tract is right for every person. Just as you might use our Bible Finder to identify the perfect translation for a friend, you should choose your Easter literature based on your audience.

For Children: Look for booklets with puzzles or bright illustrations.

For Sceptics: Choose tracts that focus on the historical evidence of the Resurrection. A recommendation for this would be investigative journalist Lee Strobel’s ‘The Case for Easter’ more than a tract this short book unpacks the evidence and asks the ready to make their own verdict.

For the Lonely: Select literature that emphasises the personal relationship and peace found in Christ. Max Lucado’s 3:16 tracts are ideal for this, sharing Christ’s love for all.

Take the Next Step

Don’t let this Easter pass by without sharing the light. You have the message that changes everything; sometimes, you just need a little help starting the conversation.
