Lent is a six-week season of the Church Year that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends the day before Easter Sunday. During these six weeks, we look forward to Good Friday, the day our Lord died on the cross to pay for our sins, and to Easter Sunday, the day He rose from the dead to prove it!

Mark 12:29-31 “Jesus answered… ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

You and your family can cut apart these prompts and choose one to read and talk about each day! Each of the questions will help you focus on Jesus and talk about things that matter to you as you live your life as His friend. As a family, choose a special time to spend with Jesus and each other each day of Lent. It could be at breakfast, dinner, bedtime, drive time, or anytime!
