Holiday Devotional Blog
By Brian Groe - Site Administrator
We received such a wonderful response from our Advent Blog that the church staff has decided to do something similar for Lent. (You could say that we are a victim of our own success!)
Next Wednesday, February 22 is Ash Wednesday which begins the 40 day celebration of Lent. Unlike Advent (which is 28 days) we are not going to try to do a devotion every day of Lent. Instead we will have a devotion each week on Wednesday. Then during Holy Week (from Palm Sunday, April 2 until Easter Sunday on April 9) there will be a devotion each day. Once again Bambi Wheeler is coordinating members of our church to submit the devotions over the next few weeks.
We will use the same blogspot address with associated email list (fumc-wp-advent.blogspot.com/). So when you see the term Advent in the name, just think Holy Holiday Season instead. If you do not wish to receive these emails, there is a way to unsubscribe at the bottom of the email.
The format of the devotion will remain very similar. Either the author or I will include artwork appropriate to the theme of the devotion.

There will also be some type of musical selection included with each devotion. As an example I have included a link to the Brahms How Lovely is Thy Dwelling for your enjoyment.
We hope that you will enjoy these Lent Devotions. If you would like to volunteer to do a devotion, please contact Bambi at the church office.
Sincerely - Brian
