Ashes to Ashes: The Season of Lent

Keywords: | | | |

Goal

The goal of this Life Night gives both teens and their families an opportunity to break open the season of Lent, specifically the theme of sacrifice. It also challenges the teens and families to create a Lenten prayer plan.

About this night

This Life Night can be used as an introduction to the season of Lent. This Life Night is designed to include teens and their families and help them to dive deeper into Lent. Be sure to plan ahead to invite all teens and their families from the parish. Have Core Members personally invite families by making phone calls or sending notes. Above all, make sure to offer extra hospitality to this night. The Life Night begins with a short, funny video. After, the night will move into a teaching focusing on the theme of sacrifice and challenge the teens and families to dive deeper into the Lenten season this year. Next, the teens and families will take some time to discuss further the theme of sacrifice through a few Scripture reflections as well as creating a Lenten plan of sacrifice and doing. The night will end with a brief time of sharing and Stations of the Cross.
