Prayer:
St. Paul Lenten Devotional 2021 – This devotional was written by members of St. Paul a few years ago. We’ve updated the devotional book with 2021 dates.
Methodist Prayer: “Methodist Prayer is based on Daily Prayer, the Church of England’s form of service for morning and evening prayer. Early Christians continued the Jewish practice of reciting prayers at certain hours of the day and night, and this practice became what is known in various Christian traditions as the Liturgy of the Hours, Divine Office, Daily Office or canonical hours.”
Dismantling Racism Lenten Devotionals from UMC Bishops – “The Council of Bishops invites the people of The United Methodist Church to a season of introspection and self-examination. Together this Lent, we will confess and fast from the sin of racism, discrimination, oppression and exclusion and feast on the beauty and blessing of the diversity of God’s Church.”
