Cultivating Readiness for Renewal Throughout scripture, we see God’s commitment to forming a covenant relationship with creation. From the Garden of Eden, to the Rainbow following the great flood, to calling Abraham on a journey of trust, God has time and again renewed and reclaimed the covenant relationship of compassion and commitment. We invite you to join us in reflecting on being ready to receive the renewal of the covenant relationship. How are we resistant to new expressions of God’s steadfast love, and the life that it calls us into? During the season of Lent please consider which services, opportunities for reflection, and devotional resources will help you assume a posture of receptiveness to the new life that we are being called into.

Lenten Devotional Resources
Want something to engage with in your personal reflections during Lent? Here are some online devotional links that Spiritual Life recommends. Words that Matter- a close look at the words of scripture as an inspiration for reflection https://www.pcusa.org/site_media/media/uploads/allwomen/pdf/words-matter-lenten-devotional.pdf Tread Lightly- active practices for Lent through the lens of environmental impact https://www.presbyterianmission.org/resource/tread-lightly-for-lent/ A Beautiful Terrible Day- daily reflection prompts to embrace the full range of what Lent holds with Kate Bowler https://katebowler.com/seasonal_devotional/have-a-beautiful-terrible-lent/ There will also be a limited collection of Lenten devotional books from our church library for folks to borrow in the Tower Entrance on Sunday. Lenten Offering for Families of ALL Ages
An Illustrated Lenten Devotional Book for Families: This is My Body is a Lenten booklet allowing families to take time each week during Lent to be intentional and focus on their faith. Our theme explores how Jesus lived in his body on earth and invites us to take care of—and embrace the goodness of—our own bodies. Pick up your booklet located at the back of the sanctuary or at the Welcome Desk/Office. We hope this Lenten family resource will help you share in conversation about how God came to be human and live among us.
