In Sunday School, we talk about how the sadness and joy of Easter cannot be separated. They are both a part of this day, but we can choose what to focus on at a given time. And if your family is looking for a way to embrace the joy of Easter, you can create your own photo booth!

Palm Sunday is a joyous celebration of Jesus’s triumphant return to Jerusalem, in contrast to the mixture of emotions in the events to come. You can bring some of the excitement and anticipation into your home by acting out the story with your family!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! The roots of this holiday go back hundreds of years, but much of its meaning has been lost over time. This year, don’t just celebrate Irish culture – celebrate the spirit of the day!

Rest is an easy-to-overlook component of spiritual life, but it’s an important one. In the umc.org article “Sabbath rest isn’t just for Sundays,” Rev. Dr. Ron Bell is quoted as saying that “God models for us that we start from a position of rest, not from a position of movement.” This week, deepen your Lenten observance through rest – specifically, through a personalized guided meditation.

Lent is a great time to recommit to your prayer life. This week, create space for prayer by literally creating a space for prayer!
