Lent Three Zine

Get to know the teachings of Jesus in Lent Three: The Parables. Introduce StoryMakers to the curious stories that Jesus told his followers in the Gospels, ultimately helping kids learn more about the surprising character of God. This 6-chapter Lent Three Zine* shines a new light on these vibrant and memorable stories, such as the Prodigal Son, and helps StoryMakers grow in their understanding of Jesus's life, ministry, death, and resurrection in a memorable way. Here we see that Jesus was the ultimate StoryMaker!

• Wise and Foolish (Matthew 6:15-7:29)
• The Seeds (Matthew 13:3-9)
• Lost and Found (Luke 15:1-10)
• The Lost Son (Luke 15:11-24)
• The Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16)
• The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)

Every chapter of the zine offers six points of entry to engage with the lesson, including creative visuals, interactive storytelling, field notes, fun facts, thoughts to ponder, and hands-on activities, plus comic pages and coloring pages! Zines are designed to be enjoyed in church with friends or at home with family. We recommend exploring one chapter a week. 

*Each StoryMaker will need their own zine. Zines have space for reflection, note-taking, and doodling. Zines are a place for a child to express their questions, discoveries, and creativity as they explore the ancient stories of the Bible and their faith in God.
