Creative Lenten Worship is a blog with creative worship ideas for the Lenten season, Holy Week, and Easter for pastors, worship leaders and creative arts teams. There are ideas for decorating your altar space for worship (with photos), as well as a reading for four voices for communion. There are also ideas for visual reminders such as Lenten nail pocket reminders and bags with thirty pieces of silver for family devotions. Instructions included for everything offered.

But today’s post comes with two caveats: the blog hasn’t had any new posts since 2011, and there isn’t a huge amount of content. However, the content there is good and offers creative ideas for those who help with worship planning for the Lenten season. So with those caveats, head on over and check it out!

Blessings of ARTistry, CREATivity & BEaUty, Jody

What is Create-A-Day? Just as One-A-Day® Vitamins help restore the nutrients we deplete in our bodies, so too do we need to refill, replenish and renew our creative souls. Create-A-Day is your daily* dose of creativity: providing posts to undergird your ministry; lead you to resources to nurture the creative spirit within; and draw you more deeply into your worship of Jesus Christ. In 2015, my goal is to connect you to over 250* resources to help you develop your ARTistry, CREATivity & capacity for BEaUty—posts geared towards artists, creatives, worshipers and people serving in worship and creative arts ministries. So, visit my blog daily* to see what creative resource or inspiration I’ve hunted down for you.

* I am a proponent of family time and Sabbath rest so don’t look for posts on weekends or Holidays.
