Essential Lent: Holy Moments and Sacred Experiences for Your Whole Congregation

Holy Moments and Sacred Experiences for Your Whole Congregation, Making pretzels. Flying a kite. Sharing a snack. What do these things have to do with Lent? Quite a bit, as you'll see in Essential Lent: Holy Moments and Sacred Experiences for Your Whole Congregation. In one volume, Essential Lent offers interesting, easy-to-prepare activities and worship resources that invite your church to delve a little deeper into this season and make it more meaningful than ever.
