Words in the Wilderness
2022 Trinity Lenten Devotionals
Sign up now to contribute!
Walk through the season of Lent with Trinity, one word at a time. Every day (except on Sundays) we will post a photo and a brief refection on Facebook from a Trinity parishioner responding to a Lenten "word of the day." These words are chosen from the weekly lectionary texts, and are chosen to help us embrace Lent as a season of repentance and restoration. These devotionals will also be shared via Lilian’s Food for the Soul email, which will be sent weekly in the season of Lent.
How to participate:
(1) Sign Up - Email Heidi (hthorsen@trinitynewhaven.org) if you are interested in doing a Lenten word reflection; if you'd like you can sign up for a specific word / day on the list below. You can also click here to view the list and add your name, as another way to sign up.
(2) Prepare your Reflection - your reflection consists of two parts, a photo and some text to accompany it. The photo is a photo you've taken, either in the past or for the sake of this exercise. It can be a view from your window, a photo from a family album, a photo of an art work - any thing that reminds you of the word you are reflecting on. The text is a short reflection (around 250 words) on the word of the day. You can tell a story related to the word, reflect on the word, or share a favorite Bible text or piece of writing that relates to the word of the day.
(3) Send your Reflection - All reflections are due the Sunday before the day you sign up for. Email your photo and the text to Heidi (hthorsen@trinitynewhaven.org) and we will share it on Facebook, with attribution!
