Lenten Devotional 2025: Deep and Wide: Becoming Beloved Community
Again, this year, Edwards Church will create our own Lenten Devotional, with a reflection available each day during Lent. We need your creativity to make this happen! Your reflections could be in the form of a prayer, a poem, a paragraph, or a photograph. Our theme this year is “Deep and Wide: Becoming Beloved Community.” Your Lenten Devotion could take many forms. Here are a few ideas:
- Tell a story of a time you felt loved in community.
- Talk about what the word “beloved” means to you.
- Send a photo or drawing of a community that you love.
- Tell a story about a struggle to feel part of a community.
- Tell a story about how you came to be part of Edwards Church.
- Tell a story about risking reaching out to people you didn’t know.
- Tell about a time you felt welcomed into an unfamiliar community.
Each reflection includes scripture and a short prayer. Debbie is happy to add those to your reflection, or you can do that yourself. Your reflection does not need to be long. If you have a picture, you might choose to have only a very few words. In general, written reflections should be 200-500 words.
Sign up here or by emailing Debbie.

What stirs in us when we reach for a poem, whether sitting down to write or read the work of a favorite poet? Why do poems stay with us and continue to inform our lives?

This class is for anyone interested in poetry as a spiritual practice and no previous writing experience is required to enjoy the pleasures of creative expression.
