Events and Activities For Families
Virtual Pancake Family Night: Tuesday, February 16th at 5:30 PM
We’re starting the season of Lent off by using up all of the butter, sugar and flour… to make pancakes of course!
If you had fun building gingerbread houses with us on Zoom in November then you won’t want to miss our Virtual Pancake Night in February. Sign Up here and you will receive a pancake-themed package for your family use and enjoy. Can’t wait to see you there : )
Lent Devotional & Activities
We enjoyed using the family resources and readings through Advent last year so we decided to do it again for Lent and Easter. You can order Asheritah Ciuciu’s Lent devotional through amazon here (https://buff.ly/2LSpOjE) or through other book and audio retailers. Stay tuned for little extras and activities all through Lent (starting Wednesday. February 17th)
Prayer Partners for All Ages
During Lent we encourage everyone to find a Prayer Partner – and that means kids too! A prayer partner is someone your child can connect with and pray for each week. It may be as simple as sharing prayer requests and going through a reading plan and then sharing thoughts or insights over Zoom, Facebook, the phone, or even through weekly letters.If you are having trouble finding a prayer partner for yourself or your child please contact the church office. There are lots of great devotionals on the Bible App (or you can follow our Lent devotional – outlined above).
Once you’ve connected your child with a prayer partner you can keep things simple by having them fill out THIS CARD each week.
