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.
