Daily Lent Readings

Readings Begin Sunday, March 9

Daily Lent Readings
 

Lent readings post to this page beginning Sunday, March 9, 2025.
 
Each day we'll say a prayer from Jeremiah 31, read a passage from Scripture, unpack the different contexts of each golden thread, invite the Spirit to weave the thread into our lives, then finish the day with a prayer we hope will internalize what we learned by praying it back to God. And it only takes 20 minutes a day.
 
Readings are also available via podcast on Apple, Spotify or YouTube.

Christmas Begins with Christ

The Christmas season can be an overwhelming time for many. However, it doesn’t have to be when you begin the season with Christ. The Christmas season is actually a time of waiting. Waiting for the birth of Christ. 
 
With the new craze of hiding and finding elves, I have stumbled upon a fun, new Advent tradition you can start with your family. It is called The Christmas Star from Afar. This new tradition teaches children the true meaning of Christmas. Similar to The Elf on the Shelf, you hide the star each night until the wise men make their way to their newborn king Christ Jesus. You can find the boxed set on Amazon, Barnes & Noble or by visiting starfromafar.com. I will read The Christmas Star from Afar to our younger Sunday school classes beginning November 26.
