Why it might be helpful: The creators of A Sanctified Art not only offer resources for the congregation- prayers, poems, art, devotionals- but resources for pastors to use in their own spiritual practice and sermon preparation each week. Additionally, their blog does have some free liturgies for special services like Blue Christmas and Ash Wednesday. our congregation has purchased one of their series, I find that it comes with more than we could possibly use and yet, I still read and reflect on everything each week and in turn it informs my preaching. This article describes A Sanctified Art well.
