As churches and communities begin to look for ways to mark the passing of time during COVID-19, we thought we’d put together a set of prayers and coloring pages to help with that process.
It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since COVID-19 changed the world as we knew it. As we brought our kids home from school and college and tried to figure out what Zoom worship looked like (it will only be for a few weeks, right?), we had no idea the amount of time we’d be staying home, the number of people who would die, and the toll the pandemic would take on our bodies: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve started seeing Facebook posts and memes about “Where were you this time last year?” when COVID-19 first started to change our lives drastically.
It’s been over a year since we’ve been together, seen our friends, shared hugs, and experienced the joy of community. And we know that churches, schools, and other community groups are trying to find ways to help people mark this passing of time.
We asked our team of writers to come up with some prayers to help communities mark this year of COVID-19, and we created a set of three coloring pages that go along with these prayers.
This is a free resource, so please feel free to share it widely. Unlike our purchased materials, you can post these free coloring pages on your website and make them available publicly.

Thank you for this beautiful resource to share with our congregations as we approach the one year anniversary. Thank you for your ministry.
Jordan Luther says
This is a wonderful idea! I am having trouble downloading these coloring pages, though. May I get some help, please?
Adam Walker Cleaveland says
Please email hello@illustratedministry.com if you’re having issues with the download. But please check your junk/spam mail folders first, as that is occasionally where the emails will go.
Doreen Solomons says
Would definitely like to read through the resources you have displayed.
