SIGN UP to write a meditation for 2012 LENTEN Meditation Book!

Yes, it may seem like Advent is still with us (and it is at this writing!), but Ash Wednesday comes quickly.  Many people have appreciated the Advent meditation books in the past, and found the devotions encouraging in their own faith journey.  Therefore, a few of us have volunteered to try to put together a Lenten booklet.

We will need FORTY writers many more than for Lent,  So you who did such a good job for the Advent Devotional will also have an opportunity to write for the Lenten devotional,  and those who did not get to write for Advent  will have the opportunity to do so for Lent.  The passages are from the lectionary, and some are not specifically "Lent or Easter" related, so writers are welcome to write from their own faith experience as well.  The theme will be "WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS."  Sharing one's faith in this way can be meaningful to the writers as well as the readers.

It is not a "quick" process to get these together and mailed, even after all the devotions are received, so the DEADLINE for getting devotions in to the office or to email them to Bob Forsythe will be February 1.  SOONER IS BETTER!  Sign ups will be between services on January 15 and 22, or contact the Bechtels (490-4614 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) who will have the "master list."  Early sign-ups are accepted!
