Kids & Community Holy Week Resources
We know love by this.....
1 John 3:16. This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our neighbors.
God promises to be with us forever. Where can we see a reminder of God's promise?

Welcome to Holy Week
Welcome to our Kids & Community Holy week at home. A special family box has been prepared for families and community members with children.
With the understanding that young families are especially busy, the chapel’s mission is to partner with and support our families with babies and school aged children. The leadership will deliver Holy Week boxes in the form of gift bags to Kids and community homes this weekend. Please take the time to go through the box.
Inside, are daily prayer practices suggested scripture readings, and fun activities that are meant to compliment, not replace, the spiritual routines you already practice.
Each day varies, but the week includes prayer, scripture, books to read together, hand painting activities, readings, baking, anti-racism discussions using TV shows, cartoons, and/or movies as a platform for these discussions with your children.
