Webinar: Planning for Lent (recording and resources)

“You will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”
-Psalm 51:16-17

 

 

Planning for Lent

In this webinar we focused on what churches and formation leaders can do during Lent, sharing ideas and tips for how to meet your congregation where they are and journey with them. We talked big picture thinking, and then moved to practical ideas for Lenten programs and events.

    Thank you so much for this webinar! As Christian Educators we often do not have the time, or make the time, to hear ideas from others. I appreciate these opportunities to learn from other DCEs and always feel renewed and encouraged afterward. I would love to see more webinars on a variety of CE subjects in addition to seasonal topics. Again, thank you!
