Many of the following reference articles come from Wikipedia. The footnotes and all internal links have been removed for readability, but the link to the original article (in a line below the article's title) will allow you to make use of that reference material.
Wikipedia is not a "faith based" source but it does adapt a policy of neutral point of view (NPOV) for all of its articles. That means that all content cannot promote an opinion or belief but must provide source references for all points of view represented. This can be valuable for both informing your own beliefs and understanding contrary or unfamiliar beliefs of others.

Worship Series: "Rend Your Hearts: Claiming the Promise"
from umcdiscipleship.org

Lent doesn’t have to be a somber time; but to be effective, it needs to be intense. It needs to be taken seriously and rigorously, and we can bring our full selves to the table. It is worth the strenuous effort, however, as we are enabled to embrace the fullness of the promise of Resurrection and live as disciples of Jesus Christ; disciples who make disciples. So, despite feeling as though we have been in a yearlong season of Lent, we need the season; we need the observance to open us to all God has in store for us.
Rend your hearts, so together we can claim the promise.

This Week's Theme: "The One Who Comes"
Liturgical Resources

Palm Sunday is not just Palm Sunday; it is more properly Palm/Passion Sunday. That slash is important. It is a reminder that there is risk involved in taking the side of the marginalized. There is danger in trying to upset the status quo. And just when you think you’ve won your point and gathered your crowd, you discover you are alone again.
