#GIFT today with kiddos from Resurrection, Trinity and Gethsemane Lutheran churches.

What did we learn today?

What color do we wear for Ash Wednesday?? Purple of course!! We're kicking off Lent when we have Ash Wednesday service.

We played with braided palms from last Palm Sunday, discussed burning the palms to use the ashes for Ash Wednesday service, and why we say;

"Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

We began our Stations of the Cross journey, and enjoyed Bible study with Pastor Mike! 🐫

Join us March 2nd at Resurrection Lutheran for a crash course on Lent, and to continue with us on our Stations of the Cross journey. ✝️
