Lenten Activities for Families with Children

A packet of Lent supplies for your family will be available starting February 19

Lent is a time to look within ourselves and be repentant, which means to turn around to live God’s way. But it is also a time to give back to God and to give to others. We use the 40 days of Lent as we wait for Easter to remember everything that God has given to us and how we can show that amazing love to others. 

Lent Prayer Chain

Take home these sheets and cut them up to make links for a paper chain! Each day (except Sundays), take one link off each day and do what it says as a family.

Lent Service Project

This year during Lent we will be collecting items needed for Lutheran World Relief for Baby Care Kits. These kits provide basic necessities for parents around the world as they welcome their new babies into the world. We hope you will consider donating some of the kit pieces listed below.  Clothing items must be for sizes 6 months-24 months; note that they don’t have to be new. Gently used and clean items can be substituted for new items (no stains/ tears and please no items with religious or patriotic symbols/messages). More...

Lenten Prayer Calendar

During Advent, we made an Advent calendar to help us count down the days to Christmas. An Advent calendar is a way to help us focus and prepare. We are going to do the same thing with Lent with our Lenten Prayer Calendar as we are count down to Easter!

Using your Lent Prayer Calendar:

• Each day you can scratch off or choose a square and discover someone or something to pray for!
• If you are able, you can even use that as an idea of someone to donate to during the time of Lent.
• As you pray and give to these people, take pictures and share them with Immanuel! We are all praying and giving during this time of Lent, and it’s helpful to see how everyone is participating in this time of Lent.
