Step-by-step guide for a parish Lenten
soup supper
Set the theme and atmosphere for the
whole parish observance of Lent with a
soup supper – an upbeat and joyous
evening for families with children,
singles, young adults, and seniors. Our
free Gospel for All Ages online
program provides all you need to get
started: advance activities, a sample
schedule, ideas for the evening’s
events, and a promotional plan. For an
overview of The Gospel for All Ages
program, click on Whole Community
Catechesis
in the menu at left, then select
“Guidelines for a Lenten Soup Supper.”
Create Valentine puzzles to find ‘love’
messages in the Bible
Valentines cut into puzzle pieces are
the heart of a scripture search activity
developed by Patricia Banner, a
catechist at St. Rose Church in Girard,
OH. She draws heart shapes on
construction paper and writes citations
for Bible verses with the word love
inside the hearts. Each heart is cut
into three puzzle pieces. Children are
given one of the pieces, and must find
the other two that go with it then look
up the Bible verses. Learn more in the
February issue of our newsletter.
