Ash Wednesday—the official start of the season of Lent—is just around the corner (March 9 , 2 01 1 ). If your congregation typically holds a service that day, you’re probably well underway with your worship planning.
In the event you’re not as far along as you hoped to be, here’s a suggestion. I just came across some wonderful new resources for Ash Wednesday worship. They are part of a larger package of resources for the season of Lent (Year A) called Dancing with the Light. The author is John van de Laar, a Methodist minister and worship leader from South Africa .
The Ash Wednesday resources are free. If you’re interested in the entire Lenten series, it's downloadable for about $1 3 .00 on van de Laar’s website, Sacredise.com.
