Here is some devotional time to do with your child during this Holy Week
Prayer: God of all times, as we walk with Jesus as he walks toward to cross of Good Friday, be present with us in all of the twists and turns of this Holy Week story. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen. Reading: Matthew 21: 12-13 (Click to read text) Questions To Answer:
Reflection: Jesus and His disciples go to Temple in Jerusalem. Jesus is frustrated with how people are treating this worship space. He turns over tables and declares, “My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.” Even Jesus lets his emotions get the best of him! I’m sure we all do that at times, too. Making sure we have ways to deal with these times that doesn’t hurt someone is best. Today, figure out ways that you can deal better with being frustrated. --Chad Hershberger Activity: Your House of Prayer (from Messy Church) Need: Paper, pencils, tape. Create your own “house of prayer” by writing down reminders to pray. It can be specific prayers or just to pray in general, but write your thoughts on the paper and tape them up around the house. Mirrors, the refrigerator, the television, and doors are all good reminder places we will see frequently. Food Idea: Donuts! There is a cute saying that goes, “Donut forget to pray!” Yes, it’s a cute saying but it also has a great message (plus your kids will love the sweet treat!)
