Lent Planner
Ashamed No More
Saturday, January 19, 2013
Using the Mennonite Church Lent theme, Ashamed No More, this planner introduces leaders to lectionary-based resources for the season of Lent. The day will open ideas and opportunities for scripture presentations, children’s time, prayer, music and visual elements for the weeks of Lent. Worship resources published in Leader magazine provide the foundation for the day’s explorations. Participants should bring a copy of the magazine or order one when registering for the workshop.
Worship planners and leaders in congregations observing Lent will find this a helpful day for experiencing the possibilities and faith formation potential of this season. Please register online.
