- Learn About Lent: Watch this short video explaining Lent: Lent is a season when we slow down, reflect, and prepare our hearts to follow Jesus more closely. It is a time to notice how God is at work in our lives and to practice habits that help us grow in faith.
- Spiritual Practices for the Journey: Hopefully, you have started with our daily Lenten texts or Faith Conversation Cards. If not, check out the prompt from yesterday and do it today! During Lent, Sandy will be preaching about spiritual practices. These are things we do to help us grow closer to God. Use the bingo sheet to mark which practices you already try, and in a different color marker, pen, or highlighter, circle ones you want to explore this season.
- Story Connection: Jesus in the Wilderness: Watch this beautiful visual retelling of Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness. As you watch, imagine what it might have felt like for Jesus to be alone, tempted, and prayerful in the wilderness. Notice how spiritual practices helped Jesus remain rooted in God.
- Wonder Together
- I wonder why Jesus spent time in the wilderness before beginning his ministry.
- I wonder what spiritual practices help you feel closer to God.
- I wonder why Lent invites us to slow down and pay attention.
- I wonder what practice you might try during this season.
