Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. John 13:1
Welcome to the Holy Week at Home Series, your personal guide for Holy Week activities. Adults, even though this guide incorporates activities for the kids, we have not forgotten about your personal devotion and have included readings and music personalized for you.
This guide is geared towards families with kids who are 13 years old and under, however, we think everyone (regardless of age) can participate and still have fun spending quality time together. If you have a teenager, here is a link to scriptures they can read for the week for their devotion.
Let’s get started!
