Worship Resources for Lent & Easter
Ash Wednesday will be on February 22 in 2023, and it is the start of the Lenten season (see Why Baptist Churches Should Celebrate Lent). I have updated and compiled below some helpful links as you begin planning your worship services for the coming weeks.
Remember that Easter is much more powerful if we help our congregations experience the Lenten season in the days leading up to Easter.
