Lenten Devotional Resources

Lent begins tomorrow on Ash Wednesday.  It is a good opportunity to consciously explore and deepen our relationships with God in the weeks leading up to the celebration of Easter.

Central Christian offers these devotional resources for Lent.

Again, we have purchased copies of the 2011 Lenten edition of "Fellowship of Prayer" from Chalice Press.  This season's devotions are written by Rev. Holly McKissick, founding pastor of Saint Andrew Christian Church in Olathe, Kansas.  Copies are available on the front table in the Narthex.

The West Virginia Region has prepared another set of "Mountaintop Prayerscapes," with devotions written by ministers of the region -- including two by me -- and a few by others, including one this year by Rev. Sharon Watkins, the General Minister and President of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).  This devotional material is available online, although a few printed copies are available on the front table in the Narthex.  You may also sign up to receive the devotions by email, or read them through the Region's Facebook page.

The general church is offering "40 Days... 40 Ways..." this Lenten season, featuring daily devotions from the staff of many of the wider ministries of the denomination.  You can read these on the Christian Church's Facebook page or by signing up to receive the daily devotion here.
