Many of us think about Lent as a season to "give up" something, but the purpose of of Lent is to help us prepare for the coming of Easter. Lent invites to be quieter and think more intentionally about who God calls us to be - and what keeps us from living as God intends us to. Below are activities to help you and your children grow your family faith during Lent.
