| With a daily scripture reading, reflection, and prayer for the forty days plus seven Sundays leading up to Easter, Walking in Newness of Life, based on the benefit of renewal from Romans 6:4, is a great resource for personal or congregational devotional use.
Join with hundreds of congregations and thousands of individuals and families across the country and around the globe. Deepen your faith as you give generously to provide healthy food for our hungry brothers and sisters through the work of Society of St. Andrew during Lent, February 14 – April 1, 2018. Traditionally, Lent is a season of penitence, a time of asking God’s forgiveness for our sins, and seeking a new way of life in Christ, day by day, as we approach the death of Jesus and look forward to his resurrection. In the devotional booklet, you will find daily meditations and prayers that show how renewal begins or is refreshed, through life’s circumstances. These devotionals are written by people of deep and abiding faith: pastors, missionaries, and laypersons from many Christian traditions. Devotional booklets, pew envelopes, and coin banks are free, and may be ordered in quantity. You may also download a copy of the devotional booklet for your e-reader or sign up to receive each day’s devotion by email. Also available: the Good Friday Fast – Join Society of St. Andrew staff and volunteers in fasting on Good Friday. This special time of prayer and fasting uses our physical hunger as a symbol of our spiritual hungers. It also serves as a vivid reminder of our many brothers and sisters who live with real, physical hunger every day. This year’s Good Friday Fast is Three days to change the world.
