Here is an article from Building Faith outlining a Seven Last Words of Christ focused journey through stations: Seven Last Words: An Immersive and Interactive Experience for Children And Youth.
The organizing principle Trinity Episcopal Church used for the stations is Illustrated Ministry's Seven Last Words Coloring Posters. The participants colored them as meditative exercises during Lent. If you did not want to purchase the posters, you could find other illustrations to use, including the Annie Vallotton Bible images found at rotation.org.
Scripture was selected for each station and a recording was made of a student reading that passage. An activity or physical item at each station relates to the Scripture.
The takeaways shared in the article:
- "When creating experiences, the more connected and in concert each component piece is, the better."
- "Open-ended engagement that allows for wondering and wandering is best."
- "Space that is prayerfully curated encourages people to pray and engage with God."
The script for the experience at Trinity Church in Menlo Park, written by Aaron Klinefelter & Patrick Kangrga, is attached to help you plan activities for your event.
