It’s a new season! 

Easter marked the end of the season of Lent. Resurrection Sunday is the high point of the Christian calendar, and while we’re still soaking in the glory of Christ’s victory over death, it’s a good time to reflect on what happened in our lives and ministries during the past 40 days. 

In January we released the free 8-week Sticky Faith Every Day Curriculum series, in hopes that it might be useful to you during Lent (though it was meant to be useful in any season that works for you). Along the way we’ve heard stories, read tweets, seen pictures, and received emails about the impact of this curriculum and resources series. Thanks to those of you who have shared! We were so pleased that nearly 4,000 folks downloaded the curriculum from all over the world. 

We thought it might be helpful to pull together in one place links to all of the different resources in this series (you’re welcome!). Here you go: 

• Sticky Faith Every Day 8-week Curriculum download, including over 100 pages of guides for youth group gatherings, daily student and adult guides, and family ideas resources

How did you see signs of hope that families engaged the series?
