Windows to Wonder Lent 2025 Stitch Along
This Lent, step into a season of creative reflection with Windows to Wonder, a multi-craft Stitch-Along designed to deepen your faith through artistry and contemplation. Inspired by the journey of Nicodemus in the Gospel of John, this season invites us to uncover glimpses of Jesus—just as light slowly reveals a scene when we pull back the curtains of a window.
Choose from three free creative options, each unfolding throughout the Lenten season. With an accompanying Bible study podcast to listen to while you craft, your Lenten journey will bring you closer to Christ.
Devotional Crafting Your Way
Through Lent 2025
Lent is a season of reflection, a time to slow down and make space for God’s presence in our lives. Like Nicodemus, who sought Jesus in the quiet of night, we, too, are invited to step away from the noise and enter into a journey of discovery. Devotional crafting offers a tangible way to engage with this sacred season—stitching, crocheting, or writing as a form of prayer and meditation. Just as Nicodemus’ understanding of Jesus unfolded over time, our creative practice can become a window to wonder, revealing glimpses of God’s truth with each stitch, row, or word. Whether through the rhythm of needlework or the flow of writing, crafting gives us space to listen, reflect, and draw closer to Christ throughout Lent.
