Jubilation at Home in APRIL

Jesus proclaimed 'It is finished!' on the cross, and the work to save us from our sinfulness, death and the power of the evil one was over ...forever ... never having to be repeated. It's a story worth reading over and over for yourself and for your kids!

Parents, remember each month at home your family can:

  • Older Children - Read from the "Action Bible," pages 631-640.
  • Younger Reader - The Arch Book "John's Easter Story"
  • Youngest Child - The "The Storybook Bible," pages 302-309.
  • Read right from your Bible with your child/ren at least twice  this month about Jesus; crucifixion from John 19.
  • Watch the video "Jesus' Crucifixion" on the Trinity Jubilation YouTube channel. CLICK HERE to go to the channel.
  • FAMILY PRAYER TENT CARD: Take time to pray the Lord's Prayer as a family on a regular basis. Use the suggested Lord's Prayer petition.
  • REMEMBERING WORK: Have your family speak together John 19:30 twice a week.
  • WORSHIP LITURGY FOCUS: Read the online KIDS-Agnus Dei sheet as a family and have your child/ren use the Fold and Do Sheet included in the packet.
  • LUTHER'S SMALL CATECHISM: Read the Close of th Commandments from page 5.
Download, print and have your kid work with any of the ACTIVITY SHEETS or make one of the extra crafts!
