This interactive, skit-based children’s curriculum contains 7 weeks of lessons for Lent through Easter. The lessons include a variety of ways for children (approximately ages 5–11) to explore the Tell Me Something Good sub-themes and Gospel stories, through rejoicing together in song, telling the story through skits, and engaging further with the theme through crafts, books, and games.

Inspired by the tradition of reading the passion narrative on Palm/Passion Sunday, the accompanying Lenten play tells the good news of Jesus' ministry from his first miracle in Cana to the resurrection. The Act I scenes follow our Tell Me Something Good focal texts for Lent, while the Act II scenes follow Jesus' final week, from the triumphal entry to the tomb. A final Easter Epilogue closes the play as a reminder that death does not have the last word. This play is designed for an intergenerational cast and an audience of all ages. It can be staged at any point during the season.

Maundy Thursday draws us into the quiet intimacy of Jesus’ final meal with his friends. On this night, we remember the towel and basin, the bread and cup—the simple, sacred gestures of love shared around a table. This service, created by Dr. Cláudio Carvalhaes, invites worshipers into embodied acts of service and reverence for one another and for the earth. Through sound, touch, silence, and song, we are invited to notice the Spirit moving in fresh and surprising ways.

For those who have experienced loss, the joy of the holiday season can often feel elusive and out of reach. As a result, churches around the world have adopted the practice of having a “Blue Christmas”' or a “Longest Night” service during the Advent season. These services are designed to provide space for prayer, reflection, and remembrance amidst the twinkle lights and holiday hustle and bustle. Instead of advertising this as a “Blue Christmas” or “Longest Night Service,” we are calling this a “Service for the Weary,” inspired by our Advent theme.

Both a full order of worship designed for congregational worship (in-person and/or virtually) and an at-home liturgy for individuals are included. We hope that these words and this order of worship can be a gift to individuals and communities alike, providing a space of calm, quiet, and healing.

This Lent, we invite you to come to God in prayer again and again, weaving your prayers in with the prayers of your community to create a beautiful prayer wall. Woven together, your prayers will form the shape of an ampersand, representing God’s holy “and.” When we become weary from the motion blur chaos of our lives, God promises that there is always more to the story—death does not have the last word. When we feel helpless and hopeless, God’s holy “and” encourages us to lift our weary eyes to search for more. This Lent, let us practice the power of ‘and’ as we sink into the repetition and ritual of prayer.

It is so very important for children to have a healthy relationship with money not only to sustain faith communities, but also for the spiritual health of those in the communities themselves. These lessons are designed for children to creatively explore and articulate their relationship with money within their identity of being loved wholly by God.

For each lesson, you’ll find a main message, songs to sing together, questions to open the session, a script for teaching the scripture, a short prayer, and an extension activity that requires little preparation and few (if any) supplies. Children do not need to be readers to engage in any part of the lessons.

This Lent, adorn your sanctuary with elements of the wilderness. Instead of running away from the wilderness, bring the wilderness in—to face it, confront it, and find your way through it. These elements remind us of the many layers of the wilderness—in these layers we find meaning and the courage to carry on.

This worship art project invites members of all ages to create wilderness art together. The project includes contemplative liturgy with poetry so that your creative process is worshipful and deeply meaningful.

This creative worship service for Palm/Passion Sunday follows Matthew’s telling of the events from Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem to his arrest in the garden of Gethsemane, highlighting a few narrative moments in between. This service is designed to be a hybrid of worship and dramatic reading. The hope is to engage people in a new way using the ancient Jewish tradition of midrash, helping teach and immerse them in the narrative flow of the Passion story.

Invite members to be midrash readers, embodying characters who each testify to who Jesus is. Get creative with blocking and offering the midrash with emotion and authenticity.

When trudging through the wilderness, songs give us strength and courage to keep moving. This service interweaves song and poetry within the passion narrative to keep us singing on the journey to the cross. This is intended to be a Holy Week service to experience the fullness of the story of the last days before the resurrection. It would be appropriate for either Maundy Thursday or Good Friday, and is particularly intended for churches that only have one service during Holy Week and want to encompass the whole narrative in that one service.

Liturgy includes numerous suggestions (with licensing info) for the hymns and sung responses. Download includes sheet music for two original hymns by Slats Toole.

This short film offers a reflection on the precarious timing of Christ’s birth. God chooses an unwed, lower-class, teenage girl forced to travel cross-country to be counted for the census in the midst of her third trimester. God’s plan to enter the world in human flesh seems so perilous—so much could and did go wrong. This led to the question, what if God had waited?

And yet, God couldn’t wait. God couldn’t wait to be love known in flesh and bone—and neither should we.

Imagine the Communion Table changing throughout the Unraveled series. First, torn fabric dresses it. Throughout the worship series, the congregation will take torn strips from the Table installation to create beautifully-woven fabric medallions. In worship, members can write prayers on fabric strips that will get woven into the medallions. Throughout the series, the unraveled components in the Table installation will diminish and transform into beautiful woven, round tapestries.

This project tangibly portrays God’s presence in our moments of unraveling as well as the promise that God hems us in—behind and before. When our plans fall apart, may God weave us together with love.

These 4 short first-person “Conversations with God” poems reflect on hope, peace, love, and joy in a way that feels personal and intimate. These prayers are honest and pure, innocently child-like in their inquiry. We hope they invite you into a prayerful and intimate conversation with God throughout the weeks of Advent.

Prayers written by Sarah Are.

This Advent, create beautiful sanctuary art to illuminate the themes of the season. These designs by Hannah Garrity feature light breaking into the world through the bursting forth of the cosmos and the birth of Christ. If you use them to create paper lace banners (see more below), light will quite literally break through the negative shapes you cut away. We hope these designs (and our instructional materials) can simply be a starting point for you to create art and beauty that is uniquely your own. Gather a group and create together, for the creative process is just as meaningful as the final result.

These graphics offer a visually engaging way for you to build on our Let There Be Light theme, or create your own seasonal or weekly themes by filling in the blank, "Let there be ____________." Perhaps you may wish to follow the traditional weekly themes of Advent by adding "Hope," "Peace," "Love," or "Joy" to the "Let there Be" logo. If you use our Longest Night Worship Service, you may wish to use these Let There Be graphics for that service as an invitation and reminder to simply "be."

Like many things in life, worship can be what you make it of it. While we do trust and believe that the Spirit of the Living God is always present in worship with us, we also know that it is easy for our human selves to miss it. These reflection and planning pages are designed for those longing to be intentional about their own worship experience or worship planning. 

For clergy, we have created a preaching prep page with creative brainstorming space and reflection questions to help you craft cohesive worship experiences. 

For those in the pews, we have designed a worship reflection page that invites a kinesthetic note-taking or doodling response to the scripture and sermon. 

Worship should not make us go on autopilot. It should be intentional. We hope and pray these resources will support your intentional practices—communally and individually.

Written by: Sarah Are
"In a world that so strongly lacks peace, I was drawn to Jesus' words from the gospel of John—included in this year’s lectionary for Pentecost. These words of peace are some of Jesus' first words immediately following his crucifixion. On the tail end of violence, Jesus still whispers peace—and not once, but over and over again, speaking directly to the disciples’ fears."

'Til the Bird Flies Home is a short poem reflecting on the startling peace Jesus offers, even after death. What does peace feel like? How do we hold it, share it, and set it free? We encourage you to offer this poetry as spoken word in your worship.

The Stations of the Cross is an ancient meditative pilgrimage inviting the spiritually hungry to walk the “Way of Sorrows” with Jesus to his death on Calvary hill. Traditionally depicted in fourteen visuals, the Stations highlight pivotal moments in Jesus’ final hours. This graphic art rendition of the Stations by Lauren Wright Pittman nods to tradition while imagining Jesus’ journey toward crucifixion through a modern lens. In twelve black and white images, this series condenses the version Pope John Paul II introduced on Good Friday in 1991. Stripped down and textured, these visuals highlight the metaphorical and emotional layers of Jesus’ journey toward his last breaths.

We encourage you to print this series on large poster paper (see printing info below) to install it as an art exhibit in your church or community. Distribute copies of the Companion Guide for participants to read and reflect as they journey through the Stations. Companion Guide includes the scripture, visual prompts, an artist reflection, and prayer for each Station. Final page includes prompts for group discussion or individual reflection on the Stations as a whole. To purchase the Companion Guide separately, please click here.

This resource offers poetry reflections (to be offered as spoken word in lieu of a traditional sermon) on three elements present in the narrative of Jesus' final hours: water (foot washing), bread (the Last Supper), and silver (Judas' betrayal). Poetry reflections are integrated within a full Maundy Thursday order of worship. 

It starts with water—just as creation started—rooting us in baptism and the knowledge that we are claimed and known by God. The service progresses to Communion, where we are eschatologically reminded that there is always room at the table for us, and that Jesus—fully human, fully God—indeed walked this earth with dusty feet and ate with his friends. Finally, in the turn to silver, we come face to face with our forgetful and flawed nature. We are reminded how easily we can turn from the promise of baptism and the beauty of Communion to betrayal.

Film By: Lisle Gwynn Garrity
Spoken Word by: Sarah Are

This film blends visual and spoken poetry to offer a meditation on our communal and individual brokenness and how we can allow it to divide us, or we can harness it to deepen our empathy, connection, and compassion. We hope this film speaks to the deep divides wracking our nation and world while also inviting us all to look more carefully at ourselves and others during this Lenten season.

"Fast for Justice"
Painting & Film by Lisle Gwynn Garrity

This film blends visual and spoken poetry from Joel 2 and Isaiah 58 to offer a meditation on how to cultivate our spiritual practices into faithful action during the Lenten season. Beginning with the darkness and gloom imagery from Joel 2, the painting shifts to show how, when we fast for justice, our light breaks open into the darkness like the dawn of a new day.

We hope this film offers a fresh way of hearing these ancient prophecies, while inviting meditation on our spiritual practices and how we are to work for the justice and well-being of all God’s people.
