Good Friday

This is the most somber day of Holy Week, when we reflect on Jesus’ crucifixion. Today, I’d suggest reading the Bible story about this event and asking your kids if they have any questions. Sometimes, our kids think hard about something but have never had a chance to articulate their questions before! Take turns reading the following passages out loud, a few verses at a time. You may find it more peaceful to do this at night when it is dark and read by lamplight or candlelight for a calmer, more serious mood. Take some time to pray after your Scripture reading.

• Read Isaiah 53:4-6
• Read Luke 23:1-49
