Lenten Family Devotional

This year’s Lenten Family Devotional is “Feast On This: Table Talk for Families” edited by Heather Roth Johnson. Rather than giving up something for Lent in order to focus more on Christ and your faith (although you can still do that) we are inviting you to think deeper about what Clemens Sedmak calls the “little theologies” of life (Doing Local Theology: A Guide for Artisans of a New Humanity, 2002). What do the everyday and mundane items and activities of our lives say about who Christ is for us? The Sunday sermons and Wednesday Services/Studies will also be exploring these “little theologies” and how they shape us and our community. You can download the devotional to use a digital copy or print it out. There are also hard copies available in the church narthex.
