Out of the Depths: Year A, Lent 2008

This year, our Lent materials invite us to see Lent as a journey from rebellion to obedience, from blindness to sight, from death to life and from power to grace. This resource for the home is adapted from the congregational resource for Lent, which is available in the Leader Winter 2007/08. The author has added her own material for Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, and Easter to round out the resources for this season.

Use the resource whenever and however it fits into your home’s routines and life stage realities. If your family has younger children, feel free to simplify, shorten, and paraphrase the prayers and pondering questions. To use this booklet for daily worship times, repeat the litany for each day of the week, moving through the listed daily scripture passages. The activity ideas arise from the theme, the scripture selections, and the various ways that we engage in learning and worshiping.
