Lent and Easter
Looking for new seasonal resources for churches to use with children, young people and families? You’ve come to the right place!
The changing Covid situation can make planning a challenge. Remember that the most important thing is building relationships with the families that are connected to your church, so if you’re short of time, or money, or volunteers, or all three, then keep it simple. Do the simplest thing you can to remind families in your church and community that you’ve not forgotten them.
If you would like to talk through your plans, or seek advice on safeguarding and risk assessments, please get in touch with me. If you have a great idea to add to this page, let me know! Contact: Fee Reynolds
