Lent 2024

For Parents and Families:

Liturgies for Parents by Kayla Craig.
A Book, a podcast, and a newsletter that contains excellent prayers, spiritual resources, and support for all of the things families are going through. Not specifically Lenten, but each newsletter is focused on the current season and events.

Ilustrated Ministry: This is My Body and God is Still With Us
Our Illustrated Lent for Families is an opportunity for families to take time each week during Lent to be intentional and focus on their faith. You'll receive seven weekly family devotions and coloring and activity pages.

From Kate Bowler:

Have a Beautiful, Terrible Lent
Lent is full of hard truths. And it is a perfect moment for spiritual honesty. We can look on this tragicomedy with love and bemusement as we wait for the someday that will be God’s promised future. There, God’s kingdom comes. God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And in the meantime, there’s this . . . our beautiful, terrible days. 
A Good Enough Lent
Together, we’re going to take ourselves off the hook for perfection. Perfect lives. Perfect bodies. Perfect relationships. And realize that this is the beautiful work of being human… again today. Thank God we get to do it together.
Bless the Lent We Already Have
Free downloadable guides for whatever this season is bringing you—
the lovely, the garbage, the difficult, the heartbreaking.
Let’s bless it all this Lent.

For Adult Reading Groups:
