Family Activities for Palm Sunday

Hello Everyone!
Pastor Paige here. This Sunday, April 5, is Palm Sunday. Normally, we would be waving palm branches and singing and having a parade into the Sanctuary as we begin worship. This year, we invite you to worship with us via Reformation’s YouTube channel and celebrate Palm Sunday at home. Along with the Children’s Sermon in the worship service, here are some ideas for marking this holy day with your children.

·      You can read about Palm Sunday in the Spark Story Bible on page 454, or in any other children’s Bible.

·      If you have a Spark Bible for youth, or another youth Bible, you can read the story together in Matthew 21:1-11. Look for any highlighted verses, questions, or other notes in the margins of your study Bible, if there are any, and read those as well.

·      At the end of this post are a few fun, brief videos I found that share the Palm Sunday story on a kids’ level.

·      If you are inspired by the Lego videos, make your own Palm Sunday scene with your Legos or other toys in your house! Send me a picture or a video of them if you wish! (E-mail Pr.paige@reformation-lutheran.net or text them to me!)

·      Here are some coloring pages for Palm Sunday. Feel free to print these and have your kids color while you worship from home this week!

You are in my prayers, my friends. I miss you and look forward to gathering in person as soon as we are able. God’s peace, strength, and joy be with you all! –Pastor Paige
