3 Ideas for Families during Lent

OK-can I just say that God is awesome and answers prayer?  Last week, I wrote a post about not having any good ideas for families to do during Lent.  But then on Thursday, I was reminded of a couple of ideas as well as a new idea from Pastor Brad that he posted on Hesston MB facebook page.

So, here are three simple ideas to use with your kids:
  • Resurrection Eggs-Family Life has a great resource for kids called Resurrection Eggs that tell the story of Easter.  You could use these during Lent by hiding them and then telling the story for each egg.  It comes with a booklet for ideas of what to say.  You can paraphrase or read it word for word.  They are available at local Christian bookstores and you can learn more here
  • Jesus Storybook Bible-I am planning to read through the life of Jesus with my kids from this Bible during Lent.  It is a great Bible that has Jesus as the focus of every story of the Bible.  Check it out here.
  • Easter Tree-Thanks Pastor Brad for the link to this idea!  I remember as a kid having an Easter tree from our family friend, Virginia.  She decorated the tree with eggs that we helped to dye.  This idea sounds similar but has stories to go with it.  I have not personally used this resource, but it looks good.  It is available here
Enjoy preparing your hearts and minds with these resources during Lent.
