Walking Together Through Lent: Our Daily Lenten Devotionals
Many voices. One journey.
Each year during Lent, our church creates a daily devotional rooted in Scripture and shaped by the voices of our community. These devotionals are shared as a printed booklet for those who prefer a physical copy and sent by email each day throughout the Lenten season.
This year, our devotional also gently invites readers to grow in confidence with the Bible. Alongside each day’s reflection, you’ll find brief context notes, simple Bible skill tips, and a daily practice—designed to help readers engage Scripture with curiosity, not pressure.
We invite members of our church to contribute by reflecting on a provided scripture.
Contributors are asked to include:
-
a short personal reflection
-
a reflection question
-
a brief prayer
-
a simple faith-in-action suggestion
There is no “right” way to write a devotional. You do not need to be a Bible expert. These reflections are personal, prayerful responses to Scripture—shared as part of our collective Lenten journey.
Reflections will be compiled into a printed devotional and also shared as a daily email throughout Lent, offering encouragement, reflection, and practice day by day.

Easter Sunday Matthew 28:1-10 After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that y

Lent Day 40 1 Peter 4:1-2, 6-8 Since, therefore, Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same intention (for whoever has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin), so as to live for the rest of your earthly life no longer by human desires but by the will of God. For this is the reason the gospel was proclaimed even to the dead, so that, though they had been judged in the flesh as everyone is judged, they might live in the spirit as God does. The end of a

Lent Day 39 Hebrews 5:7-9 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered, and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, REFLECTION The word “perfect” has always troubled me wherever it appears in Scripture.

Lent Day 38 John 13:14-17, 33-35 So, if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. Very truly, I tell you, slaves are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and as I said to

Lent Day 37 Isaiah 50:6-9a I gave my back to those who struck me and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting. The Lord GOD helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand in court together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. It is the Lord GOD who helps me; who

Lent Day 36 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Consider your own call, brothers and sisters: not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to abolish things that are, so that no one might boast in the presence of God. In contrast, God is why you are

Sixth Sunday in Lent Matthew 21:6-11 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the donkey and the colt and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!

Lent Day 34 Mark 10: 13-16 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them

Lent Day 29 Ephesians 2:8-10 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Lent Day 27 Romans 8:6-9 To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For this reason, the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law-- indeed, it cannot, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. REFLECTION I believe the mes
