Jesus, The Light Of Our Lives
Nine Children's Object Lessons For Lent (with Coloring Book)
Wesley T. Runk

Opening: Good morning, boys and girls. Let's pretend for a minute that all the electricity went out all over the whole world! This wouldn't do you any good at all, would it? (Hold up the light bulb. Let them respond.)

Close: The next time you go into a dark room, remember that Jesus is the light- our light. Let's always keep him in our lives.

Jesus, The Light Of Our Lives offers nine object lessons for Lent. Lessons cover Ash Wednesday, the Sundays of Lent and Easter. A separate lesson is offered for both Palm Sunday and Passion Sunday depending on the congregation's focus for the Sunday before Easter.

A coloring book, which focuses on the object lessons, is in the center section of this book. You may remove it by simply bending the staples and gently pulling out the coloring book pages.

Extra coloring books may be ordered, separate from the object lesson book, to distribute to youth in congregations.
