Scenes from Holy Week

  • This activity is based on a Blackline Master from the Finding God program, Grade 5.

  • Invite the young people to draw prayerfully.
  • Consider playing some instrumental music quietly in the background.
  • When they are done, invite volunteers to share their work with the group.
