    I’ve done the original Lent in a Bag, so I like seeing some of the variations. It would be nice, though, if we could actually read the pamphlets that accompany them.

    i like the idea of Lent in a bag. it would be great if there was an explanation of what each object represents

    Thanks Lynette! We hope in future articles about faith at home bags to provide descriptions and links. Here’s one recent example! https://buildfaith.org/lent-at-home-kits/
