The Work of Imagination Interactive Worship Bulletins

The Work of Imagination Interactive Worship Bulletins are Lent–Easter bulletins for all ages, with creative activities that connect worshippers to scripture through art, activities, and imagination.

Theme Overview

Lent begins in the ache, the questions, and the tension between love and loss. The Work of Imagination invites communities to slow down, turn with honesty, and journey with Jesus through wilderness, confrontation, and cross. Rooted in prophetic imagination, this Lent–Easter series calls us to examine systems of harm, listen to voices from the margins, and practice love that endures even in the shadow of empire.

Worship is for the whole body of Christ. These interactive worship bulletins invite children, youth, and adults into the Lent–Easter journey through creativity and reflection—making space to imagine justice, embody mercy, and engage the holy work of transformation together.
