Ornament Sets: If you purchase a book from church or on your own please help yourself to a set of the Lenten Tree Symbols/Ornaments which correspond to the book. You will find the symbol/ornament sets beside the Resource Table with a yellow cover sheet and 4 card stock pages of ornaments.
Ideas for Lenten Tree:
- Have your children draw a tree on poster board and tape ornaments
- Use a door/wall and tape ornaments
- Take sticks/twigs and place in a glass vase and string ornaments to them (add beads in bottom of vase to help hold sticks in place)
*** If your family chooses to participate in the Lenten Tree Devotions this year and you display the ornaments please send me a picture at the completion. I would love to see the different ways the Lenten Tree is shared. ***
Devotions begin on Ash Wednesday and continue until the Saturday before Easter.
"Lent is a time that children can learn how much Jesus loves them and the great sacrifice He made for their eternal life. This book is designed to introduce and bring them to Jesus. It then shows them how Jesus lived the example they are to follow as Christians. The adult devotions are intended for realization, reflection, and resolve to walk in His steps." (pg. 11 The Lenten Tree Devotions for Children and Adults to Prepare for Christ's Death and His Resurrection by Dean Meador Smith)
