As we look ahead to the start of our Lenten journey beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 1, Christian Education (CE) is offering Lenten devotionals for people of all ages. These materials will be available on Sun., Feb. 26. They will be located on the table outside of the East Transept, on the Second Floor CE table, and in the Social Hall during Journey worship.
40 Days & Nights Booklet (For Children)
This Lenten devotional for children and younger youth offers reflections on Biblical characters in the Old and New Testaments, with thoughtful questions about how these stories connect to our lives today.
Easter Alive Puzzle Magnet (For Children)
This devotional features six symbols of Holy Week and Easter: palm branches, a cup and bread, a crown of thorns, three nails, an open tomb, and an Easter cross. Talk about the symbols as you put the puzzle together as a family. CE also will provide questions for reflection. (Limit one per family)
Greatest Commandment Lenten Coin (For Adults and Older Youth)
Carry this coin with you during the season of Lent—and anytime throughout the year—as a reminder of the greatest commandment: that we love God with wholeness of heart, mind, soul and strength; and that we love our neighbor as ourselves.
Thy Will be Done (For Adults and Older Youth)
One of Jesus’ most famous prayers occurred in the Garden of Gethsemane before his betrayal, when he prayed, “Not my will, but yours be done.” Prayer is a cornerstone practice of our faith. This devotional booklet features a daily scripture verse and prayer that we might discern and embrace God’s will for our lives and our world.
At the Crossroads (For Adults and Older Youth)
Lent is the perfect season to consider the critical crossroads of life—losses, transitions, choices, uncertainties, and disappointments—those times when life and faith clearly intersect. This devotional booklet offers a scripture verse, reflection and prayer for each day in Lent, encouraging us to become more aware of Christ’s presence with us through it all.
