Lenten Resources
Brand New Resources:
Eggs and Ashes: Practical & Liturgical Resources for Lent and Holy Week by Ruth Burgess & Chris Polhill. A Wild Goose Publications, The Iona Community
From Advent's Alleluia to Easter's Morning Light: Poetry for Worship, Study, and Devotion by Ann Weems. In her first collection of poems in ten years, Ann Weems challenges Christians to look past the ongoing distractions of the "busy work" of church meetings and socials, new programs and technology, and inevitable conflict, while reminding readers in her singularly expressive voice that the "institution" of the church is, at heart, quite simply all about Jesus. This collection of poems, written to be used in worship, in personal devotions, and in discussion groups, is organized to follow the liturgical year from Advent through Easter.
