Lent can be a deeply personal time for renewal and reflection. In the early church, it was the time when new converts prepared for baptism by prayer, study and fasting.
The Lenten Devotional booklet is a collection of writings offered to you for your own Lenten meditations. It is the work of our members, sharing their faith and their stories. There is one devotional for each day of Lent, starting on Ash Wednesday, March 5.
Audio files from the authors are available during Holy Week.
Please join us in these readings and all our Lenten opportunities for online worship, service, prayer and observance. The full calendar of the season is available on our website, www.santamonicaumc.org/lent. Information is also available by calling the church office at (310)393-8258.
May these reflections deepen your experience of this time.
