Our Devotionals
During certain seasons of the church year we invite artists and writers to reflect on scripture drawing us deeper into the season. Here are a few recent devotionals we’ve produced as a community.
Easter 2024
The Way of Light is the Eastertide complement to the Way of the Cross. Just as the Way of the Cross depicts the stations (moments or scenes) leading to the cross, the Way of Light depicts resurrection appearances. The Way of Light is the leg of the journey between disorientation and reorientation. As a church, we explore Jesus’ life anew every year. As we do this, we invite Jesus to carve into our souls the truth that “through the Cross (one comes) to the light.”
Lent 20204
Our little Lenten devotional is a journey through scripture and practice that takes us from Ash Wednesday to Easter together. Together, because spiritual practices were never meant to be done in isolation from community. We’ve created this Lenten devotional as a resource as we embark on two separate but very much inter-related journeys: Reflective Reading and Reflective Practice. We encourage you to join with your small group, discipleship group, family, or simply invite one friend for the journey. Some practices are designed so they could be shared with a friend or neighbor – even if they aren’t yet sure what they believe about Jesus.
Advent 2023
In the first chapters of Luke the Spirit overflows from people in song. These ‘little’ songs (the canticles of Advent) have been set to music; sung and chanted for millennia. They come to us through their latin names: Nunc Dimittis, Magnificat, or Benedictus, and Gloria in Exceslsis.Artists and writers in our community have teamed up to produce this devotional book to orient us to the Advent Season through scripture, poetry, music, and art using these songs as our guide.
