You can participate in Planting Hope this Lenten season by talking with others and praying with and for them! “Popsicle Prompts” make it fun to incorporate prayer and meaningful conversation into your day. Gather a handful of popsicle sticks and fill them with topics for prayer or conversation – then, whenever you feel stumped, pull a prompt for a quick check-in with God and people who are important to you!
Parents, use your own discretion when it comes to your kids. If content is rated for certain ages then we will indicate that. Enjoy!
