Hello, friends,

It’s Holy Week (and Spring Break for many of the kids)!

Normally, the church would be gearing up for a full week of worship services commemorating the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection.  Normally, many of you would be preparing to travel to see family or take a much needed vacation.

But…here we are.  So we’ll bring Holy Week to you!

I offer the following Holy Week activities for families.  Pick and choose which you’d like to engage in with your kids.  (Children at heart are welcome to join in also!)

First, a reading of

This is the Mystery of Easter by Amelia Richardson Dress

Activities for throughout the Week

First Congregational Church of Christ in Wisconsin has created this lovely set of Holy Week readings and pictures that you can download and walk  through with your children.  There’s a “blank” version of each piece of art for children to color on their own.

Several Presbyterian churches have joined together to create this event.  It gives us a chance to participate in an old-fashioned Easter egg hunt (kind of) and to connect with other congregations.

We will be posting video services for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, as well as Easter Sunday.  More information to come your way!
