Lent comes every year, even this year.
Perhaps it’s your favorite task to come up with a study or worship series to bring the congregation.
Or maybe you dread it and are always looking for something better to do.
Either way, we’ve got you covered.
Join Church Anew for a one-day seminar where we will learn from Old Testament scholar and Psalm expert, Rev. Dr. Rolf Jacobson. We will provide you with everything you need for a successful Lenten series on Psalm 23, one of the most beloved and widely memorized pieces of scripture. You will receive sermon ideas, bulletin covers, music suggestions, and a ready-made Lenten devotional to share with your congregation.
At the in-person gathering, you will also have a chance to engage in authentic conversation and mutual support with other church leaders. We’ll ask the honest questions about what it looks like to be the church today and wonder together about how God might be leading us in this moment.
As a virtual attendee, you will receive access to worship and keynote address, all of the Lent planning materials, and we will provide zoom rooms for mutual conversation and support.
