Benjamin's Box A Lenten Journey for Families

Each video will be between 15-30 minutes and contain a short reading from the story Benjamin’s Box, a Scripture reading, a craft, a challenge, and a prayer. By the end of the series, children with their families will have heard the Easter story and collected items symbolizing key moments of Jesus’ experience during his last days:

His triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a donkey
The last supper
Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane
Jesus’ torture and crucifixion
The Resurrection on Easter morning.

Be sure to join the video presenters, Tanya from Our Lady of Immaculate Conception in Tisdale and Jennifer from St. Henry Parish in Leask, each week as they take us on a journey with Benjamin.
