Did you know pretzels have a long connection to the Lent season, dating all the way back to the seventh century? It’s true! In both their ingredients and shape, they make the perfect reminder for the Lent season to pray and spend time in God’s Word.

Pretzel Prayers is a family resource that uses pretzels to encourage daily habits of prayer and Scripture reading while teaching about the historical connection of pretzels and Lent. It includes 41 days of prayer prompts focusing on Lenten themes like prayer, giving, fasting, confession, forgiveness, and more, all thematically tied together through pretzels (a historically Lenten snack!). (Note: the 41 days include the 40 days of Lent, not including Sundays, and an additional prayer card for Easter/Resurrection Sunday.)

This simple but engaging resource will take families only 2-3 minutes per day. Here’s how it works: Each day during Lent (taking Sundays off), kids will choose a Pretzel Prayer Card from their bag. They’ll read the Scripture and complete the prayer prompt together as a family, or older kids can do this on their own. That’s it! It’s a simple and fun tool to help families develop spiritual habits as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Easter.

Additional activities are also included to give families something fun and simple to do at home throughout the Lent season, whenever works best for their schedule.

All YOU need as a leader to create Pretzel Prayer Bags for your families are cardstock, a stapler and/or tape, printing paper, and brown paper bags. This makes this resource extremely cost-effective for you as a leader, and the Pretzel Prayer Cards are easy to cut, saving you time as you prep a bag for each child or family.

    Families told me over and over how much they enjoyed doing the Pretzel Prayers with their children for Lent. I like that it was an affordable and easy way to give the families in my church a way to get closer to God during Lent.

    Clever and fun way to bring focus to Lent. In-expensive to make and a nice alternative to giving families a document. Hands on activity that builds excitement for kids to get their turn.
