Jesus' Seven Last Words

The seven last phrases that Jesus uttered from the cross are sometimes referred to as the Seven Last Words. This Lent, we invite you to explore these words through various experiences at SMPC. We will have a weekly printed devotional that is designed to be used by all ages. Along with the devotional, there are coloring posters and pages that coincide with each word. A new poster will be displayed in the narthex each week, and you can color the pages at home. The children will be using the coloring pages in Children’s Worship as well. In addition, we are offering an adult study that will allow you to explore these words in a communal context on Sunday mornings at 9 am.

Register for the class on Realm. Pick up a devotional guide and coloring pages in the Connection Center or email Rebecca Guzman, Director of Spiritual Formation, for electronic versions.
