Mary has combined 55 new and some older colouring images to compliment most of the readings that you can use from Ash Wednesday through to Easter Day based on this years Church of England Lectionary readings. The Bible passages are taken from the Lectionary 2019-2020-A but cover common readings used throughout Lent.
Each of the illustrations will highlight specific themes of the reading.
Whether you’re looking for a youth programme, a communal art activity or something a little different to do for Lent this year, our Lent Colouring Worksheets provide a creative, engaging and participatory way for ALL AGES to explore their faith.
We are providing the images as digital images (via Adobe PDF file) so if you want you can print them smaller or larger depending on your group size.
We have been producing colouring images since 2005 and have had them used in many different ways. Here are a few suggestions...
Sunday School / Youth Groups.
As part of your Youth program encourage your children to colour in the posters and then display or present them in the Church either week by week or as part of the Easter Day service.
Bible Studies
Many churches have topical Bible Studies throughout the year, why not get a group together and do a study on the bible passages and colour while you learn!
Nursing Homes
Have your children’s/youth ministry take a poster to a nursing home to colour with the residents. Or leave some with the residents and pick them up to share with your church.
Bring and Share Food Event
Your church could host a simple soup/salad/sandwiches meal each week during Lent and have conversation and colouring before or after eating together.
Coffee Hour
Leave the colouring posters out on tables during Coffee Hour/Fellowship Hour after church for people of all ages to sit, colour, and talk with one another.
Colouring in Worship
Set up a couple of tables in your church space to allow young people (and the young at heart) to colour during worship. A great way for children to engage with worship in a new way.
Colouring in isn't just for Children, we have had many adults comment on our colouring packages including one who said: "They are quiet contemplation, meditatively complex, colouring with focus that leads into enjoyment and prayerful mindfulness. Creativity with heart and depth. [Lindisfarne Scriptorium's] colouring books are for me a prayer focus and stress release in one."
We have been told about our images being used in Prisons, in Colleges, in Mission, in Retreats.
Why not try bringing them into your Church.
