Building the Lenten Season: NL

Building the Lenten Season is a hands-on, family-friendly devotional resource designed to help children and caregivers journey through Lent together—right at home.

This downloadable pack equips your church to send families home with an engaging practice they can return to week after week. Through simple lego-style building activities and thoughtfully guided conversations, families explore how Jesus brings clarity, hope, and direction to our lives—even when things feel confusing or uncertain.

Each session invites children to build, wonder, and talk alongside a trusted adult, making space for faith formation that’s tactile, meaningful, and accessible for all ages. Whether families have a few minutes at the kitchen table or a longer moment set aside for devotion, Building the Lenten Season meets them where they are.

What’s included:

• Instructions and materials list (thin card stock, small envelopes)

• Printable, easy-to-follow building prompts using everyday bricks

• Guided conversation questions for children and caregivers

• A repeatable rhythm families can use throughout Lent

• Aligned with the Narrative Lectionary readings for each week of Lent.

Perfect for children’s ministry leaders, pastors, and faith formation teams, this resource helps extend your church’s Lenten journey beyond Sunday—and into the heart of family life.
