Lent is a six-week liturgical season in the life of the church. Week 1 is on February 26th and concludes with Palm Sunday/Passion Sunday (April 2). Lent is a season of preparation for the celebration of Easter. This year we will be drawing from a worship resource called “A Sanctified Art”. This resource includes images, art work, devotional booklets and cards, and Sunday morning scripture readings and prayers.

Sometimes the wilderness is isolating and lonely, and sometimes it is filled with crowds. On Palm Sunday, we find our place in the crowds, and we must ask ourselves where we stand. As Jesus rides through Jerusalem on a colt, are we filled with reverence or dismay? As Holy Week begins, we follow Jesus through the wilderness journey to his death.
