Lent

The season of Lent is a time to embrase what is means to be a Christian. This morning the kids and I made it to mass for Ash Wednesday. Devon is really into her book of Common Prayer and trying to understand how to use it in the services.

After the service, we watched a Holy Heros video. The kids enjoyed the video, because it is produced by kids.

Next, we made Lent Calendars for coloring one day at a time for the 40 days from Catholicicing.com for each child.

From Catholic Icing, I found the idea of resurrection eggs. You place together items and read the bible verse that goes with that item.

Here are some other great ideas

Jellybean prayer

Easter Cookies: make these the night before Easter. The recipe has a story to go along with it.
