Lenten Devotional

Sign Up Now!

Our 2024 Lenten Devotional is coming soon! For the last 35+ years, the members of St. John’s have written wonderful, thoughtful devotions that enrich our daily lives throughout Lent. This year, we will need your help to continue this wonderful tradition. Please consider writing one or two short devotions to be included in our booklet. Our theme this year is, All in His Time. People on earth have to confront the passage of time during their lives. What does God tell us about time? What does He assure us about the timeliness of events in our lives and throughout history? Each devotional verse has been selected from God’s Word based on a reference He has made to time and will help us to explore the answers to these questions.

Here’s all you have to do to sign-up TODAY to write a devotion:

Click on the link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040D4BABAE2FA57-46211164-stjohns#/

Follow the directions to select your date and verse. It’s that simple!

You will receive an email from [email protected] with all of the details you will need to complete your devotion. All devotions must be submitted by Sunday, January 21.

Thank you so much for helping us to make this Lenten Devotional possible again this year!
