Description
How do you share the deep mysteries of Lent, Easter, and Resurrection with children? Parents, guardians, teachers, and ministers will find dozens of fun and easy practices for celebrating the Easter season with our kids. The practices and seasonal prayers are grouped into chapters titled Ash Wednesday, Symbols, Lenten Prayers, Lenten Refraining, Lenten Acts of Service, Holy Week, Easter Vigil and Easter Day, and the Season of Resurrection. Smith also offers theological notes guiding parents on addressing the violence of the crucifixion and the meaning of Jesus' death.
Advance Praise
“Traci Smith has done it again! In Faithful Families for Lent, Easter, & Resurrection, Smith welcomes us to let intuition be our guide us as we journey with her through Lent and then celebrate the season of Easter. She is as clear and engaging as ever, providing fresh and engaging prompts and practices that can be done in the ‘holy mess’ of family life. I highly recommend!”—Jennifer Grant, author of Maybe God Is Like That Too and Dimming the Day
“Faithful Families is the resource families need as they move through Lent, Easter, and the Resurrection. Smith’s theological and historical grounding draws readers into the purpose of preparation and celebration and inspires them to respond. In a time that is shadowed by overwhelm and anxiety, she offers a simple invitation alongside practical suggestions families can try as they journey through this holy season together. Families will be encouraged and strengthened in their love for God and each other.” —Rev. Dr. Tanya Marie Eustace Campen, Intergenerational Discipleship, Rio Texas Conference, United Methodist Church

Angela W, Reviewer
Leading up to Easter, this is a helpful little book especially for parents desiring to celebrate purposefully with their families. There are many prayers and practices to choose from to incorporate in this season. In my opinion, most would be best be suited for early elementary aged children.
Julia B, Reviewer
This was a great, practical guide for families looking for ways to celebrate Lent and Easter, while looking to avoid heavy language of atonement and a lot of talk about death. Traci's ideas are fresh while being faithful to tradition and she offers a variety of ideas for families of every age and stage!
