Last night we began our tradition of walking through the Gospel accounts of Jesus' death in order to prepare for Good Friday and Easter. The picture to the right contains everything we use.1. The booklet in the middle is called "Meditations on the Suffering Servant" and contains our daily readings. They begin with Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and end with His resurrection. You can download it here.
2. We also use the candles. On Sunday we light them all, then blow out one each night. On Saturday we'll sit in darkness (to represent Jesus in the tomb). On that day, we'll talk about our sin for which Jesus was judged.
3. Each night we try to have something that the kids can pass around and touch; something that relates to the Scriptures we're reading. For example, on Sunday they each took turns wave the palm brach. Or they can hold the bag of coins that Judas gained by betraying Jesus.
