LIVING, LEARNING & LOVING during LENT
Lenten devotionals for March and April. We will focus on a different concept each day of the week: Sundays: Resting/Taking Sabbath Mondays: Fasting Tuesdays: Giving Wednesdays: Serving Thursdays: Praying Fridays: Studying/Learning Saturdays: Celebrating/Playing.
First Full Week of Lent: Deepening FaithMarch 12 (Wednesday – Serving)
- Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 – Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.
- Reflection: Each of us has unique gifts and talents. Which of these do you put to the service of others? Serving can be an act of joy and pleasure, if you follow your passion, and let that become the outlet for serving others. We receive as much as we offer, when we share ourselves with others from a place of love and compassion.
- Spiritual Practice Prompt: Identify one gifts or talent that you can share with others this week.

Blessed for Those Who Bear the Light — Jan Richardson
Blessed are you
who bear the light
in unbearable times,
who testify
to its endurance
amid the unendurable,
who bear witness
to its persistence
when everything seems
in shadow
and grief.
Blessed are you
in whom
the light lives,
in whom
the brightness blazes—
your heart
a chapel,
an altar where
in the deepest night
can be seen
the fire that
shines forth in you
in unaccountable faith,
in stubborn hope,
in love that illumines
every broken thing
it finds.
