Worship Series: "Steadfast Love: A Lenten Playlist"
from umcdiscipleship.org
A playlist? For the season of Lent? A Lenten playlist? What an odd idea. Lent is often seen as a somber and even silent season. Certainly, there is space for contemplation, for embracing the quiet, for being still to seek out God. Many of us, however, find music a helpful tool for contemplation. So, we offer this playlist as another tool for your worship experience this season. We chose a song for each worship moment in the series from Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday. We aren’t suggesting that these are to be used in worship, unless that fits your context. Rather, this is preparation work, thinking about making connections, about plumbing the depths of heart and soul, of the community of faith and the wider culture. However you use them, let music be a guide into worship this Lent.
This is the Eighth service of a 10 service Worship Series from the Discipleship Ministries.

Liturgical Resources
When we rise from the Table or from washing feet, we rise to a life of Spirit-directed service. We know that such a life will gather others, and together we will go to this brand-new home.
