2025 Lenten Resources
The Lenten season is here! We hope that these resources will serve you well as we journey through this season together.
Available resources include: a Spiritual Practice Guide, with a few ideas for the ways in which you can observe Lent this year. An Illustrated Ministries Family Devotional, an adult devotional written by Kate Bowler, Lenten poetry poems written by Rev. Sara Are, Liturgy written by Grace’s staff, Lenten prayers of examen, artwork, and a Lenten blessing written by Jan Richardson are also available.
The resources and ideas provided are by no means exhaustive! There are many other ways to engage in spiritual practices.
We hope that you try something new and that it renews your spirits. May you grow closer to God and closer to each other. May you learn and pray and name your gratitudes as you simplify your daily living to make room for what God is doing around you, in you, and through you. And in the midst of the growing pains, may you find grace, and joy, and greet Easter morning, more aware of how God is on the move around you.
