On March 24th, 2024 (Palm Sunday), we hosted our first ever Artist’s Roundtable event. In this webinar, each of the 5 artists who created art for our “Wandering Heart” Lent series shares more about her process, inspiration, and medium. In the webinar, we also engaged with questions and responses in the chat.

The Seeking theme for Lent is particularly relevant to teenagers’ lives as they are navigating the change from childhood to adulthood. They are seeking friendship, meaning, romance, direction, belonging, purpose, autonomy, connection, and calm within the storm of rapid physical and social changes. This guide is written with youth ages 12-18 in mind, though many of the ideas and questions could be relevant for young adults as well.

Maundy Thursday is a time to remember Jesus’ vision of beloved community, where we are each vulnerable enough to wash another’s feet and have our own feet washed, to feed and be fed, to love and be loved. Below is a simple Maundy Thursday service outline. You are free to adapt the following worship outline to fit your community.

This Lent marks our seventh year crafting art and resources inspired by the Revised Common Lectionary, which means we have a large inventory of materials to support you through the seasons of Lent and Easter. To save you time (and the hassle of searching your way through older resources in our shop), we thought we’d organize all we have to offer. Get your scrolling & clicking finger ready, because there’s a lot in here!

The nativity story has been passed down from generation to generation, and many authors have added their own take on the message of Christmas. We asked our Facebook group for some of their favorite Christmas picture books. Listed in this post are some of their favorites. We hope you’ll check them out at your library to read to the children in your family or in worship.

Here we’ve collected hymns and songs that work well with our Full to the Brim Lent theme and weekly sub-themes based on the Year C texts of the Revised Common Lectionary. We hope these lists help you as you’re planning meaningful worship services for the Lenten season.
