Holy Week at Home
Devotions for Families & Children
Holy Week is the most important week in the Christian calendar. From the cheers of Palm Sunday…to the quiet tension of the Upper Room…to the darkness of the cross…to the joy of the empty tomb…
This is the week that changed the world.
But Holy Week is not just something we want to remember at church it’s also something we can live and rehearse in our homes.
As a church family, we want to help you slow down and walk through this week intentionally with your children. These simple, Scripture-centered devotions are designed to help families reflect, pray, and talk together about what Jesus has done for us.
What You’ll Find Here
These are designed to be flexible. You can do them around the dinner table, at bedtime, or before school. Keep it simple. Keep it meaningful. The goal is not perfection but presence.
Why Holy Week Matters for Families
Children are shaped not only by what they are told but also by what is repeated and valued. When we walk through Holy Week together, we help them see:
We are not just teaching Bible stories. We are forming hearts. And in a world that moves fast and forgets quickly, Holy Week invites us to slow down and remember the center of our faith: Christ crucified and risen.
A Word to Parents
You do not need to be a Bible expert to lead your family through this week. You simply need to open the Scriptures and be willing to talk about Jesus.
If your children ask hard questions — that’s good. If the moments feel imperfect — that’s normal. If the conversations are simple — that’s enough. Faith grows in ordinary, repeated moments around God’s Word.
Our prayer is that this week would not just prepare you for Easter Sunday but would deepen your love for Christ and strengthen the spiritual life of your home.
Let’s Walk the Week Together
Start with Palm Sunday and move through each day as we follow Jesus toward the cross and then to the empty tomb. May this Holy Week remind your family that:
God keeps His promises.
Jesus finished the work.
The tomb is empty.
And hope is alive.

Why Holy Week Matters for Families
Children are shaped not only by what they are told but also by what is repeated and valued. When we walk through Holy Week together, we help them see:
- That Jesus is King (Palm Sunday)
- That Jesus serves (Maundy Thursday)
- That Jesus suffered in our place (Good Friday)
- That Jesus is alive (Easter Sunday)
We are not just teaching Bible stories. We are forming hearts. And in a world that moves fast and forgets quickly, Holy Week invites us to slow down and remember the center of our faith: Christ crucified and risen.
