As we journey through this season of Lent together, participants are invited to remember that from the foundations of the world, the Holy Spirit hovered over creation. The Spirit hovers, even now. When God’s people seemed abandoned in Egypt, God guided them into the Promised Land. God guides us, even now. In the birth of Jesus—Immanuel—God was with us. And God is still with us, even now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Lent, we will explore Gospel passages that remind us that God is still with us. The good news of the gospel is that Jesus experienced the fullness of humanity—comfort and pain, celebration and heartache, and joy and suffering. And when he had the choice to escape ridicule or rejection, Jesus stuck with the outsiders, the oppressed, and the hurting. The life of Jesus demonstrates that God knows what it is to be human and to be with us in all our experiences, especially in our suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Will Receive\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeven Family Devotions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Starting with the First Sunday in Lent and going through Easter, sessions will include a scripture, reflection, discussion questions, and a prayer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColoring \u0026amp; Activity Pages\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each session comes with a coloring page that goes along with the Bible story, and some of the weeks also include activity pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow You Can Use It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChurches often purchase this and send it home with parents to use during Lent. \u003cem\u003eAn Illustrated Lent for Families\u003c\/em\u003e also makes a great addition to any Lenten materials you might be putting together to send home to families.
