Thanks Terri! I do have a free Easter resource you can download on my shop page - it's a seven-day resource for Holy Week. I would love to eventually put together a Lent version. Maybe in time for next year xx

Oh My, Thank You. It is absolutely gorgeous. I found your advent one, to be one of my favorite studies ever and bought several of the books from it for my granddaughter. Leave a Reply. |
