This curriculum, written with children ages 5-10 in mind, invites children to engage in the RCL Year A gospel texts for Lent in light of our Seeking theme. Each lesson includes a main idea, a storytelling script with suggested “stage directions” for visual storytelling, time for questions and discussion, a prayer, and suggestions for games, books, and creative expression to further engage the theme.
In addition, we’ve provided templates and instructions for creating felt storytelling kits for children to take with them to continue engaging the story in worship and throughout the week.
