Spy Wednesday

Gospel passages.  Matthew 26:14-16 (and Luke 22:3-6)

Today we remember Judas betraying Jesus.  Because of Judas sneakiness, it is traditionally called Spy Wednesday.

Read the above Gospel passages and try a family activity.  The parent(s) hides 30 silver coins (nickel, dime, quarter) in a room at home.  Kids search for them all.  Note the interactions.  Are kids sharing and collaborating; or, are they pushing each other out of the way? Why is it most often the latter?

Share your comments!  Adapt as needed. We will discuss tonight in our online class.    

The collected coins become a donation.
