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: Reflections on Giving invites families to focus on different types of giving. Using Jesus’ teaching, participants will reflect on why we give, what we give, and the power of our gifts. Each week explores a different form of giving and our gifts' impact on those around us.
What You Will Receive
- Seven Family Devotions: Seven weeks of family devotions that are simple but meaningful. The seven devotions focus on scripture passages for our theme, and each week includes a brief reflection, discussion questions, an activity, and a prayer.
- Special Ash Wednesday Labyrinth Meditation: We also include a special meditation using a labyrinth for Ash Wednesday.
- Activity Pages: These activity pages help give families and participants concrete things to do to engage with the theme during Lent.
- Coloring Pages: Seven coloring pages tie in with both the weekly scripture and activity.
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 for a Sunday School or multigenerational programming.
