About the liturgies

Five contemplative Lenten liturgies introducing the coloring of Celtic-style knots as a spiritual practice (optional) and accompanying coloring pages in a variety of formats.

Each weekly liturgy, created by Lynn Willis, includes the following:

  • Invocation
  • Confession
  • Scripture
  • Prayer
  • Time to be still (including options for coloring* and/or drawing Celtic-style knots)
  • Blessing

This year the focus is on Committing to Life in Relationship with God.

*Explore coloring as a spiritual practice.

How to use?

Congregations

  • As part of Sunday worship during Lent
  • For special mid-week Lenten services
  • Worshipers can be invited to color the black and white images during a period of quiet reflection

Individuals

  • As personal devotions during Lent

Two different versions of each bulletin are available in a PDF format:
