The season of Lent calls
Christians to remember the
mystery of our redemption in
Christ and to more fully
participate in his life-giving
spirit. Our Lent devotions
booklet invites the whole church
to become engaged in this
process of renewal.
We offer devotions that are
designed to help Christians take
seriously penance and
reconciliation. Our devotions
program is capped by an optional
Good Friday Fast to remind us of
the sacrifice of the Lord and to
identify with those who are in
need in our society.
The Lent devotions starter kit
includes a sample devotional
booklet, sample Good Friday Fast
material, and instructions for
church leaders to administer the
church's participation in this
program.
To order a starter kit
online (with no
obligation,) use form to the
right. After reviewing the
material, you may use the form
to order the appropriate number
of devotional booklets and Good
Friday Fast materials for your
congregation.
Please note: Our Lenten
material is provided free of
charge to individuals and
congregations who covenant with
us to donate to our ministry
during the season of Lent.

The season of Lent is a journey
in which we have been given the
opportunity to grow closer to
God through Jesus Christ. In
keeping with the traditions of
Lent, the Society of St. Andrew
invites your congregation to
participate in a program of
spiritual reflection, prayer
,
and giving. Our Lenten devotion
program challenges the reader to
take seriously the scriptural
injunctions to care for the
poor, while it also provides an
opportunity to feed our hungry
brothers and sisters.
This year, the Society of St.
Andrew’s Lenten devotion booklet
is entitled
“How Beautiful”
based on Romans 10:15b,“How
beautiful are the feet of those
who bring Good News!” During
His earthly life
,
Jesus brought Good News
by restoring sight to the blind,
encouraging tax collectors to be
honest, and challenging people
to have a deeper faith. Each
day, during your reading, you
will meet a new Biblical
character. One of our gifted
writers will use this theme to
share how they feel Jesus
brought wholeness to that
person’s life. This Lenten
season is an opportunity to grow
in your faith so that Easter and
the resurrection of Jesus might
be the glorious celebration of a
risen Christ that lives within
each of us.

We hope your congregation will
participate and make feeding our
hungry brothers and sisters a
priority during Lent. Through

nourishing food to those most in
need especially during these
cold winter months and
economically challenging times.
