Note: This is a digital product. No physical product will be shipped to you.
Our Illustrated Lent for Families is an opportunity for families to take time each week during Lent to be intentional and focus on their faith. You'll receive seven weekly family devotions and coloring and activity pages.
Who is it for?
Most churches will purchase this and give it to families in their community. It's also great for individual families to purchase and use on their own. We've also had churches with intergenerational Lenten programming use it for multi-age gatherings.
An Illustrated Lent for Families: This is My Body is an opportunity for families to take time each week during Lent to be intentional and focus on their faith.
Our theme explores how Jesus lived in his body on earth and invites us to take care of—and embrace the goodness of—our own bodies. Each week highlights a different story from Jesus’ life and connects it to shared human experiences—like growing up, taking naps, or drinking water. By engaging with these stories through a broad lens of embodiment, This is My Body seeks to inspire curiosity, wonder, and awe in all ages.
We hope this Lenten family resource will help you share in conversation about how God came to be human and live among us.
What You Will Receive
- Seven Family Devotions: Weekly family devotions include a suggested scripture to read, a short reflection, discussion questions, an activity, a fun fact, and a prayer.
- Coloring & Activity Pages: Each session comes with a coloring page that goes along with the Bible story, and an activity page.
How You Can Use It
Churches often purchase this and send it home with parents to use during Lent. An Illustrated Lent for Families also makes a great addition to any Lenten materials you might be putting together to send home to families. One could also adapt it to use for a Sunday School program or multigenerational programming.
