Featured Series for Lent 2025
We are featuring these three series for Lent 2025: a brand-new non-lectionary series, one for RCL Year C, and the 10th anniversary of the series that started it all!
Purveyors of Awe
A sense of awe can include witnessing acts of “moral beauty.” Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem was such an act as he continued to lift up the lowly and to advocate for peace and justice. This series explores an awe-filled life of Beauty, Wonder, Meaning, Curiosity, Delight, Connection, and Self-Giving.
Good Enough
Our culture often defines a good life as continuous upward mobility – climbing ladders of prosperity with increasingly fabulous experiences. This series helps us embrace our imperfect, “good enough” lives. Based on RCL Year C and Kate Bowler’s devotional book, Good Enough: 40’ish Devotionals for a Life of Imperfection.
Gifts of the Dark Wood
The series that started it all. 2025 is the 10th-year anniversary of this series inspired by the book of the same name by Dr. Eric Elnes. Uncertainty, failure, emptiness, lost-ness, temptation, and many other challenges offer gifts if we embrace them. The struggles of life can be the seedbed of spiritual awakening.

What are fully-scripted series?
You may use the common term “sermon series” to describe a topic used over a season of time. But Worship Design Studio series are oh-so-much-more than just sermon content (we give you sermon fodder too). We collaborate with nationally-known guest experts to create original music, small group resources, suggestions for children’s time, visual and media resource ideas, and more. Our fully-scripted worship series are designed to give you everything you need for worship planning in a jiffy for meaningful and memorable messages. And they are fully-adaptable, ensuring they work well in your context.
