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.
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
We invite you to follow our project guide and tutorial video to create a Lenten Prayer Wall in your own community. The main priority and goal of this project is to invite your community to commit to prayer again and again throughout the season. We encourage you to find creative ways to invite others into the ritual and repetition of prayer. You can display the wall in worship (indoors or outdoors), filling the ampersand shape with your prayers throughout the season. If you are worshiping online due to COVID-19, you could install the prayer wall outdoors on your church grounds (with supplies nearby) in a location where pedestrians or visitors might interact with it so that it can become a public art installation for the whole community.
