Lenten Meditations

You are warmly invited to contribute to our annual collection of Lenten Meditations, which will be available beginning Sunday, February 16 (in church, in the office, and on our website).

This project is meant to reflect the whole parish—many voices, many angles. Contributions can take a variety of forms, including:

• A written reflection (traditional devotional style or personal narrative)

• A prayer, poem, or blessing

• Your own original or public domain artwork (drawing, watercolor, photography, calligraphy) with attribution

• A few “holy questions” the passage raises—questions that might help others pray and ponder

• A short practice (a simple breath prayer, examen prompt, or contemplative invitation)

If you’d like to contribute one or two days, you can view the 40 selected meditation passages here. You can see which days are still available and can sign up here. If the “Writer’s Name” column is blank, simply add your name next to the day(s) you’d like to claim. Please note: as in past years, this year’s book will be publicly available on our website. The last column of the sign-up sheet lets you indicate how you’d like your contribution attributed.

All are welcome—whether you’ve been writing for years or you’re trying this for the first time. If you’d like to see examples, last year’s meditations are available here.

Deadline: Contributions are due Sunday, February 8. Questions? Contact Minister for Adult Formation, Alice Kochunov at alice.j.landis@gmail.com.
