Directions

  • Invite the children to create prayer cards by folding a sheet of paper in half. On the cards the children should ask God to help them stay true to their Lenten promises.
  • Encourage the children to write one of their Lenten promises on the front of the card and then a special prayer asking for God's guidance on the inside of the card.
  • Allow the children plenty of time to decorate their cards.
