Preparing for Holy Week at Home

April 2, 2020 By Allison Sandlin Liles 6 Comments

Palm Sunday will be here in just a few short days and I am not ready for it. I’m not ready for Holy Week as a priest, as a parent, or as an individual person trying to follow Christ. And yet, it’s coming.

Scripture engagement works. My teens dove deeper.

January 20, 2018 By Miriam McKenney 1 Comment

God’s story is rich with adventure, love, deceit, and every situation and emotion imaginable. My kids are hooked. My new theory about reading the Bible with kids: they’re never too young to be challenged, and they’re never too old to wonder. Join us as we read Luke and Acts!

Our family hunts for Easter baskets. Surprisingly, it helps us honor Christ.

April 16, 2017 By Nurya Love Parish Leave a Comment

Almost ten years ago, I started hiding my children’s Easter baskets. Only now do I see the connection to the story of the resurrection.
