Lenten Resources for High School Families
Lent is a season when God calls us to reflect on the meaning of Christ’s death and resurrection. We invite our high school youth and their families to set time aside for worship, learning, reflection and prayer. Below are some resources we shared previously that youth and families can use at home.
Music is selected by staff members of Lifelong Learning Ministry at Virginia Theological Seminary.
Learn how to create a Lenten Prayer Space at home.
Create a space for youth to reflect and pray this Lenten season. Each day will include scripture, a reflection, a prayer, and a pop art image.
