LENTEN DEVOTIONALS

Lent is one of those seasons that helps us turn away from distractions and turn toward God. This year, as a congregation, we will enter Lent with a renewed focus on God’s relationship with us using each of our five senses. Through daily devotions, we will hear how individuals and families have experienced God’s presence through sight, taste, touch, smell, and sound. These stories are full of heart, faith, memories, joy, hope, and connection.

Lenten Devotional Week 1 – Sight

Lenten Devotional Week 2 – Sound

Lenten Devotional Week 2 – Smell

BISHOP EATON’S 2025 PASTORAL MESSAGES

“As a church, we are called to speak up when the government distorts or denies the image of God in each person by endangering access to protection, peace, and daily bread. Where harm or inequity occur, we are called by God to respond with love and advocacy.

Luther also writes that in asking for daily bread, we are to pray for our leaders. We should pray that they act wisely and justly, protect all people, and not cause harm.

Prayer is not passive; it’s an act of hope. Prayer reminds us to ground ourselves in God’s promise. We pray for strength, to love unconditionally, and to serve one another. As we lift up our petitions, we must also act—advocating for policies that affirm the dignity of every person and standing against actions that demean or exclude.”- Bishop Elizabeth Eaton
