LENTEN RESOURCES 2018
Print-ready resources for worship & reflection
Using texts from the Revised Common Lectionary, the resources include:
- Weekly bulletins with liturgy and prayers
- Weekly guided spiritual practices
- The resources are ideal for individuals, families, small groups, Sunday School classes, or for use in a multi-generational setting involving the entire congregation
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.
