2019 Lenten devotion seeking writers and artists of all ages- yes, kids too!

This year's theme is "Living Grace."

Children (and adults) are invited to submit a devotion based on the theme or Bible scripture for the day.

If your child is interested, here is an idea to reflect on the theme.

Read a Bible story or scripture that highlights grace (God's faithful love for all people that cannot be earned but is offered as a free gift). Read about God's abundant love or forgiveness: Luke 15 (the lost sheep, the lost coin, the prodigal son) or a psalm of praise for how great is God: Psalm 111,121, 66, 67,139. Read it a second time with the child's eyes closed. What pictures or words come to mind? Read it a third time if you want. Make a list of things the scripture brought to mind. Draw or write about God's amazing grace and love. This can take any form that can fit on a vertical 1/2 sheet of paper (4" x 5").

Children's artwork, poem, letter to God, or prayer would be welcomed and cherished in this church-family publication. Stephen Ministry Leader Martha Lyon is compiling devotions, due anytime now through January 25. Email Martha for more information.

Weekly Faith Formation

Children are invited to learn the stories of our faith and life-long Christian practices of prayer, service and compassion through our faith formation classes. We offer Sunday School at 9:45 am every Sunday for ages 3 and up. Wednesdays are another opportunity as we gather after school at 3:45 for Kids Club (play & snack) then divide into classes 4:15-5 pm. If you'd like more information about these options, contact Jenny Alexander anytime. We spend about 7 house a DAY in school learning math, language and science... we need at least an hour a WEEK of faith forming education to launch us into a lifetime of faith!
