Learn about our Saints

Lent Madness is a fun, engaging way for people to learn about the Church’s Calendar of Saints. Visit lentmadness.org to fill out your bracket for a chance to win the “Golden Halo!” And it's free!

Lent Madness began in 2010 as the brainchild of the Rev. Tim Schenck. In seeking a fun, engaging way for people to learn about the men and women comprising the Church’s Calendar of Saints, Tim came up with this unique Lenten devotion. Combining his love of sports with his passion for the lives of the saints, Lent Madness was born.

The format is straightforward: 32 saints are placed into a tournament-like single elimination bracket. Each pairing remains open for a set period of time and people vote for their favorite saint. 16 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 coveted Golden Halo.

The first round consists of basic biographical information about each of the 32 saints. Things get a bit more interesting in the subsequent rounds with quotes and quirks, exploring of legends, and saintly kitsch. 

Wednesdays at 5:30 pm

Resurrection will join other Blue Springs churches sharing food, fellowship and worship during Lent. Each week one church will host a 5:30 pm gathering for a common meal, followed by a 6:40 pm Lenten worship service.

The offering will go to support the work of Community Services League of Blue Springs.
