I will have readings from some children's Bibles on certain days, as well as readings from the text. Please read to your children (no matter how young) from the actual text of Scripture. God's Word is powerful and can work in their lives. I am an eyewitness to this in my own children's lives! Even if you have to break up the readings, let them hear and see these beautiful words.
So much can distract us this week - good things - family, activities, food, parades, crafts, even preparing for church with rehearsals... No matter what you do or do not celebrate during this holy week, remember Jesus. Make Scripture a priority each day. We show our children what is important by the time and energy we spend. What do you want them to remember for eternity?
There are several activities you can do with your children this week. I will post some ideas for you. We will be using our felt banner from last year and will be making a symbol to remember the story for each day.
If you can, make sure you take time for all the readings. Luke offers a particularly interesting perspective Jesus' triumphal entry also being tragic. We see Him weeping over Jerusalem.
