LENTDEVOTIONAL &BOOKDISCUSSION

This Lenten season, we invite you to enter a daily reflection time through the book "Lent of Liberation" by Cheri L. Mills. This devotional invites readers to learn more about the brutal institution of slavery and its impact on black people in America and recognize how its evolution and legacy continue to harm their descendants in the United States today. Each of the forty devotions includes the testimony of a person who escaped slavery through the Underground Railroad, a Scripture passage, and a reflection connecting biblical and historical themes to challenge modern readers to work for liberation. Reflecting on Lenten themes of exodus, redemption, discipline, and repentance, readers, both black and white, will be empowered for the work of racial justice.

We will meet at the church each week during Lent for a discussion of that week’s devotional readings. There will be two discussion times to choose from each week – Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. and Thursdays at noon. The book is available on the Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Westminster John Knox Press, and The Thoughtful Christian websites. We will also do a bulk order through the church if you prefer to purchase a devotional that way. Please call or email the church office no later than Monday, February 13th at noon if you would like to purchase your devotional through the church.
