Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday
Engaging Worship Services for the Whole Family - just $19.99

Mark Burrows, longtime WDS Guest Expert on Children and Worship, has designed these Lenten worship services as intergenerational offerings for the whole family. Whether your community is already accustomed to gathering together and observing a special worship experience on these days or not, you will find much creative inspiration in these worship services and likely increase participation for the whole congregation. Best of all, they are standalone services that can be used in connection with any other worship series you might be doing for the rest of Lent.


The Ash Wednesday service contains a simple worship script to introduce the themes and scripture, along with a detailed vision for a prayer station experience. The activities at each prayer station, along with the accessible messaging, provide a powerful container for everyone to encounter the idea of growing closer with God during the unfolding season.


The Maundy Thursday service is an immersive storytelling experience that includes a footwashing ritual, communion, and reflective meditation on Jesus' time in the Garden of Gethsemane. All three elements of the service engage worship participants of all ages in a visceral exploration of the Holy Week story.


The Good Friday service features shadow images projected with light as a unique and memorable way of telling the scripture story. Includes shadow cut-out templates and detailed instructions for bringing this service to life in your community. This offering is truly an amazing way to share a complex and emotional part of the Lenten story for an audience of all ages.
