Seasonal recap! Lent comes to a close this week with the Sunday’s celebration of our Lord’s resurrection. Observing Lent has looked different for us through the years. This year I kept things pretty simple. I loved using these “Lenten Menus” I made for our morning Bible times. This helped keep all of us together and focused on a few things I wanted the kids to learn this season. Once a week we did a quick study of some classical Lenten art work in a devotional book from the Keeping Company. Occasionally the tales we did for our read aloud times tied in nicely with our Lenten reflections. The Selfish Giant was wonderful for this.
