Holy Week OSHI ONLINE SUNDAY SCHOOl

Welcome

The season of Lent concludes with Holy Week, Jesus' final days before His death and resurrection. With each day, we see that Jesus comes to save us.

This lesson covers three stories. You may want to spread it out throughout the week learning about Palm Sunday on Sunday, the Last Supper on Thursday, and Jesus' death on Friday.

Sing and Dance

Our forty-day journey to the cross is coming to an end. Let's sing 'Hosanna" like they did in Jerusalem that first Palm Sunday. Hosanna means "God save us" and that is what Jesus does.

God's WorD

Story 1: Palm Sunday

Luke 19:28-40

Talk About: How were people welcoming Jesus when Jesus entered Jerusalem? How do you like to praise Jesus?

Story 2: Maundy Thursday

Engage

Palm Sunday: Have a parade around your house.

Maundy Thursday: Enjoy a meal together as a family or wash eachother's feet.

Good Friday: Write your sins on a piece of paper. Nail them to scrap wood (with an adult) or tear them up. You are forgiven.

Pray + Bless

Dear Jesus, You come to save us. You showed us such amazing love by coming and dying for us on the cross. Forgive our sins and help us to walk with you all our days. Amen.

Circle up as a household. Pick someone to start the blessing. They say, "Jesus saves us. And that means me (place a hand on your chest). And that means you (place your other hand on the shoulder of the person next to you)". Pass the blessing by repeating those words and actions. When the blessing makes it back to the first person, they say, "Go and bless the world."
