Lent at Home

As we prepare for another Lent & Easter season during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen just how creative church leaders have been as you have faithfully reached out and connected with families in your congregations. We’ve also started noticing posts in many Facebook Groups asking for ideas for Lent-at-Home kits or Lent-in-a-box resources for families.

We want to help you design your Lenten and Easter kits with resources that are high-quality, digital, and easy to distribute.

Brand New Resources: If you’d like to learn more about last year’s Lenten offerings, and receive samples of our two recently-released Lent products click here to receive a FREE PDF with all the details.

We have a vast library of resources, and we’ve picked out some of our favorites for you.

*A note about physical coloring posters: Our coloring posters have been fantastic opportunities to gather together in community with people of all ages sitting around a table coloring together. That is obviously not possible during the COVID-19 pandemic, but we’ve seen churches come up with some innovative and creative solutions.

Some churches have set up coloring stations outdoors and invited people to come in shifts to color a poster together. Others have purchased our high-quality physical coloring posters, cut them up and distributed them to families and church members, and then put the pieces back together to create a beautiful art display.

Another option would be to host an online discussion using one of the devotional guides and the coloring pages. Allow participants to color and reflect during the week, and then gather together online to go through the devotional guide and share their reflections.

Aside from the physical coloring posters (which also have digital options available), all of these resources are digital and can be purchased and easily printed and distributed to families and church members, but could also be emailed to people for easy distribution.

Alleluia Easter Poster

FREEBIE: We have a brand new, FREE Alleluia Poster that we are giving out! Keep reading to find out how you can download it today!

Easter is one of those Sundays when churches go all out. Colorful decorations, Easter lilies, the flowering of the cross, streamers, trumpets, fanfares, big choirs, guest musicians, and kids dressed up in their Sunday best, ready to pose for family photos after the Easter Egg Hunt.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, churches had to get creative and try to find new ways of connecting with their communities.

Illustrated Ministry created this Alleluia Poster for churches to share with their members, and for families to have a fun project to work on together.

Alleluia Poster for Families
Note: We do not include a pre-colored version of the file – the files come as B&W PDFs.

We designed this Alleluia poster illustration so that it could be colored and displayed in homes around the world. And we want you to have it for FREE!

We hope our Alleluia Poster will be one more way you can add some color and beauty to your home and your community.

Alleluia Posters

This poster is designed in our new Mosaic Poster Tiles format and comes formatted for both US Letter (8.5×11) and A4 paper. Here are some additional details:

  • Your download of the ZIP file will include two versions of the poster: a US Letter (8.5×11) file and an A4 file.
  • US Letter (8.5×11): You will receive a small version that fits on one 8.5×11 sheet of paper and the poster version (which requires four sheets of paper and measures 20.39″x14.67″ when you’ve assembled and taped together).
  • A4: You will receive a small version that fits on one A4 sheet of paper and the poster version (which requires six sheets of paper and measures 22.44″x16.14″ when assembled and taped together).

Below you can see some photos that give you an example of what it will look like when you’ve printed it, colored it, and assembled the poster tiles.

Happy Easter!

Download it, email it to friends and families in your congregation, and share the link on social media! We hope you’ll share photos of these Alleluia Posters, and if you post them on social media, make sure to either use the hashtag #illustratedministry or tag us (we’re @illustratedmin on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest).

Another freebie we are offering is a downloadable palm frond coloring page that you could send out to your church or post on your church’s website.

Have people download it, color it, and then you’ll at least have something to wave on Palm Sunday while you’re gathering with your family watching worship on TV, or if you’re all participating in an online Zoom worship gathering.
