Days of Lent Family Devotions: Day 26




March 23, 2023

Younger Children and Early Elementary

Day 26

READ: Heaven breaks through: The story of John the Baptist, from Matthew 3, Luke 1; John 1, p.200-213.


ACTIVITY: Make a “telephone” out of paper cups and string. Poke a hole in the bottom of the cups and run a string between them. One person speaks the words from heaven while another listens with the cup up to their ear.


The words: “This is my own son, and I love him. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him.”


For the younger ones: “This is my son…Listen to him.”


REMEMBER: Talk about your baptism if you remember, and tell the story of your child(ren’s) baptism.


ORMANENT IDEAS: hang a dove, make one or print a picture.


This ornament reminds us of Jesus’ baptism.


Older Elementary
