Lent Resources for Families

A couple of Sundays ago I was having a conversation on the playground (NO LAUGHING) and was somewhat surprised by how many of the kids are practicing some observance of Lent. I think it is wise for parents and teachers to introduce children to the rhythms of the Christian Year. Believers developed these rituals, stories, and disciplines over many centuries for shaping us into the image of Jesus. Children soak up this profoundly "concrete" way of learning in the context of their favorite teachers ... their families.

Here is a great website dedicated to providing resources for families who want to explore these ideas further.
