Here is some devotional time to do with your child during this Holy Week Prayer: Loving God, it’s hard to think about all the things that Jesus went through during Holy Week. Help us to understand how much Jesus sacrificed. We are caterpillars in cocoons waiting to be butterflies. Fill us with new life. Amen! Reading: Luke 23: 44-46 (Click to read text) or Spark Bible, p. 476 Reflection: Good Friday is, by far, the most somber and arduous day of the Holy Week. On this day, our savior Jesus Christ was wrongfully accused in illegal trials and sentenced to death via crucifixion. He was nailed to a wooden cross and suffered for many hours before His death. Friday evening, Jesus is taken down from the cross and placed in a tomb. --From Messy Church Activity: Cross Art (from Messy Church) Need: Paper, painter’s tape, paint, paint brushes. Place the painter’s tape, in the shape of the cross, at the center of the piece of paper. Then, pick out your favorite colors to paint with. Paint the entire piece of paper (including over the top of the tape) and wait for it to dry. When it has dried, carefully pull the painter’s tape off to reveal a beautiful white cross among your artwork. Food Idea: (from Messy Church) Make a rectangle pan of Rice Krispy Treats and empty it onto a cutting board. Cut the rectangle into a large cross and have fun decorating it with sprinkles and frosting before enjoying the delicious treat!
