I have been doing a Lenten calendar
journey every year since 2011.
Always interesting to SEE
where the journey takes me.
My challenge this year-
I have 3 calendars I wanted to use,
AND
3 Lenten devotionals that I wanted to read.
This choice is with a Missional focus.
Find it here:
I like the Creative Communication
Publications each year.
Our church always has a selection
to choose from for Lent.
Rev. Paul L. Maier is a very respected
ancient history professor
ancient history professor
in the Lutheran Church -Missouri Synod
I always say YES to C.S. Lewis.
So there you have it.
Done deal.
I pick out 4 colored pencils
that I will use for each calendar.
Put each set in a page protector
to keep things together.
I may sit down at different times
in the day to Read, Reflect and Respond-
to SEE how God's Word
will Reach into my day and life.
Or I may have a longer space
of time and do the readings
I have also been searching out other
Visual Faith resources
to have on hand to share,
and show at gatherings.
I like this book of images.
They are ready to color, and
perhaps a bit more non-gendered
than some Coloring books.
My approach to using coloring books?
It doesn't have to be done in one season.
It could be prayed over, colored in and completed
over a number of seasons.
Journey collected over time....
Lent Illustrated would work for a more
traditional approach
with a Bible Journaling application.

This also has some basic helps for beginners.
A good choice for a group.

Lent-Illustrated
Illustrated Children's Ministry
is fairly new on the Visual Faith scene
and they create products
for church and family settings.
I like the graphic dynamic of their images
and also work as a more non-gendered option.
This set of 8 1/2 by 11 coloring pages for the
Stations of the Cross comes as a downloadable set.
Pretty reasonable for 100 copies for $10.
Always good to make sure you give credit
and due for the work of the artist.
Thanks Adam Walker Cleveland.

So we are a few days into Lent-
and it is not too late.
Pray about where you might want to focus.
And remember-
that GRACE
covers all of these practices and experiments.
Get behind?
Start again, catch up and move forward.
You can do THAT
as many times as you need to!
Blessed Lent to you!
You can get these calendars
and more in the FILES section of the
DC Metro Visual Faith Community on Facebook.
