We hope these prayers and litanies will help do just that.

These Ash Wednesday, Lenten, and Easter liturgies are written to connect with An Illustrated Lent for Families: God is Still With Us, and our God is Still With Us Lenten Devotional (both the illustrated and text-only editions) for a fully God is Still With Us-themed Lent. At the same time, these liturgies can be used by themselves, apart from the other materials.
About the Theme
With our Lenten theme, God is Still With Us, participants are invited to remember that from the foundations of the world, the Holy Spirit hovered over creation. The Spirit hovers, even now. When God’s people seemed abandoned in Egypt, God guided them into the Promised Land. God guides us, even now. In the birth of Jesus—Immanuel—God was with us. And God is still with us, even now.
Our God is Still With Us resources explore Gospel passages that remind us that God is still with us. The good news of the gospel is that Jesus experienced the fullness of humanity—comfort and pain, celebration and heartache, and joy and suffering. And when he had the choice to escape ridicule or rejection, Jesus stuck with the outsiders, the oppressed, and the hurting. The life of Jesus demonstrates that God knows what it is to be human and to be with us in all our experiences, especially in our suffering.
