You may be thinking “It’s a little late now for this,” but church leaders have a lot to plan for Lent. Sunday themes, midweek themes, Holy Week coming up. There are still group devotions and bibles studies and you may find yourself in a pinch to come up with materials for other meetings and events.
Or perhaps you are not a church leader but just looking for some focused Lenten devotions and studies this Lent for yourself and/or your family.
Here are a few options:
Set Free by Truth
The Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton, presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and leaders from The Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church of Canada, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada have prepared a series of Lent devotions titled “Set Free By Truth.”
The devotion theme addresses truth and racial justice, reflecting on the challenges facing churches in North America today.
Season of Hope- Lent 2018
