Ash Wednesday can be tricky with children. If you are a church that uses liturgy, the liturgy can be long and full of words that children would not necessarily use! It's important, though, that as part of the body of Christ, children are included in key events in the church calendar. Here is my attempt to open up some of the symbolism and meaning of Ash Wednesday in a way that (hopefully) might be useful to some of you! I have based some of this on the Church of England's Liturgy for Ash…

When I first started teaching in the wonderful Catholic School in which I teach, I had one of those awesome parents who was always there when I needed an extra hand and always had a smile on her face when she was in the classroom.

This project is easy and if you are looking for a striking bulletin board, this fills that…

The Ash Wednesday Ligurgy and St. Timothy's Ash Wednesday Witness event were so moving last night. I am incredibly grateful to be a part of this Community, and so very blessed to be a part of last night's Witness. One of St. Timothy's core values is "Art as a pathway to knowing God." That's been my experience for the last 7 years, but I never expected to be part of a church community that valued the arts and implemented it as part of our "church experience". A couple of months ago, Liz…

Hi Friends, For all my Catholic/Christian School friends, you know that Ash Wednesday is this Wednesday and we begin the long season of Lent. I used to dread teaching Lent to my kiddos because the material that I could find was above their understanding. There is some really good Catholic/Christian material in the world, but just not enough for little kids. My kinders are excited to receive ashes on Ash Wednesday, but also a little apprehensive. So, I created this little activity that we do…
