- 1
Print and post by Palm Sunday
US Letter, portrait. Tape it inside your Bible cover, on the fridge, or beside your favorite reading chair.
- 2
Read each morning of Holy Week
Each day's passage takes 10–15 minutes. Read it first thing in the morning before the day's noise begins.
- 3
Read Good Friday's passage in the evening
Many Christians read the crucifixion accounts on Good Friday evening — slowly, perhaps by candlelight, often at 3pm or after dinner.
- 4
Use it as a family
Read aloud at the dinner table during Holy Week. Ask each person to share one thing they noticed about Jesus that day.
- 5
Pair with a Good Friday service
If your church holds a Maundy Thursday or Good Friday service, this plan complements it perfectly — arrive at church having already read the Scripture being preached.
- 6
Read Resurrection Sunday's passage out loud on Easter morning
Before any Easter activity begins, read Matthew 28, Luke 24, and John 20 aloud as a family. Begin Easter the way it began — with the empty tomb.
