Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, this year falling on St. Valentine’s Day, February 14th.
How to Lent with Kids and How to Lent for Teens are resources for parents and teachers alike, showing how to make a difficult and often confusion season more relevant for the younger people in our homes and faith communities. Each page has several videos explaining how the three pillars of Lent: giving, prayer, and fasting, along with Bible readings, can be adapted for children and teens.
Our five week Lenten study this year will look at the children of the Bible. They are often hidden in plain sight and are rarely the focus of our worship services or Bible studies. Over five weeks from February 21st until March 20th, we will dig deeper into these stories, the culture and social expectations of the day, and what we can learn about God’s promises shown through their lives.
