Wow! 21 Days of isolation. 21 Days in which we’re only allowed to be in our homes (or gardens) and can only go out for the most essential things like food and medicine. It can be a little rough! All the things we usually do during the day, like school, sport, church … are not happening anymore. It can really confuse you and maybe even bore you a little. These daily readings will help you to spend some time with Jesus every day in a creative and fun way. You can do these readings and activities by yourself, with your siblings, or with your entire family. Ask one of the grownups to post your activity on Facebook so that others can enjoy it with you. Tag it with #solitudecalendar #churchtogether

Parties are fun. It is exciting to celebrate together and spend time together. When we celebrate communion, it is almost like a party that we can enjoy with other believers. When we celebrate communion, we are reminded of these three truths: 1. Jesus died for our sins. 2. Jesus is still with us, in this moment, and because He is with us, we as a family are bound together in love. 3. Communion gives us a taste of what heaven will be like.

Activity
Plan a party at home. Make invitations, decorations and choose something to eat and drink, even if it is only apples and water. While you enjoy the party, talk about everything you are thankful for.
Today is Earth Day. On Earth Day we celebrate the wonderful creation and are reminded that we should care for our planet. Try to make all the decorations for your party from recycled materials.
