Building off a Sundays and Seasons Lent series, our 2026 Lent resources will be Going Deeper: Conversations with Jesus. 

Conversations with our neighbors are part of our calling as the body of Christ and can be used as a useful discernment tool as we explore going deeper. We will join the conversation between Jesus and his partners from Sunday’s gospel reading as we think about naming, claiming, and proclaiming our why. This Lent series will use the Service of Word and Prayer from All Creation Sings. During the service, there will be extended moments of silence to allow congregations to have time to participate in these holy conversations. 

Resources will include components for the service, completed bulletins (in both Word and PDF), graphics, and social media resources. Weekly reflections will be posted on the synod website that can be used during Midweek services. 

For questions, please contact Pastor Mack Patrick via email or by calling 309-794-4004
