Lent Madness Returns to All Saints

Posted

If you are looking for a Lenten discipline that is fun, educational, occasionally goofy, and always joyful, join the Lent Madness journey! Lent needn’t be all doom and gloom. After all, what could be more joyful than a season specifically set aside to get closer to God? Join the Rev. Vicki Mouradian as she leads Team All Saints through Lent Madness.

Based loosely on the popular NCAA basketball tournament, Lent Madness pits 32 saints against one another in a single-elimination bracket as they compete for the coveted Golden Halo. But it is more than that: Lent Madness is really an online devotional tool designed to help people learn about saints.

On the weekdays of Lent information is posted here about two different saints, and then participants vote online to determine who goes on to the next round. Sixteen saints make it to the Round of the Saintly Sixteen; eight advance to the Round of the Elate Eight; four make it to the Faithful Four; two to the Championship; and the winner is awarded the Golden Halo. Saintly Scorecards ($3) are available on the Information Table after worship services or at the Church Office. A brackett will be displayed on the patio to help you track the madness. Lent Madness is one fever you’ll want to catch this season!
