Lenten online devotions from Goshen College begin March 1 at
www.goshen.edu/devotions
GOSHEN, Ind. – Everyone needs a bit of
silence and inward spiritual reflection in their lives to renew
hope. Goshen College again offers an online spiritual resource to
help believers make time and space in their hearts and minds to
reflect on the Christian season of Lent.
Beginning March 1 and culminating on Easter (April 16), Goshen
College students, faculty and staff will provide weekday
reflections based on lectionary Scripture passages, available
online or by daily e-mail. Organizers said the devotions reflect
honestly on the Scriptures and offer words of the assurances of
faith. Many writers will reflect on the Lenten theme: “Write
on our hearts.”
Organizers intend the daily devotions to provide the opportunity
for a moment of pause and peace, presenting the thoughts of
believers to accompany individual Lenten devotions. The spiritual
offerings will include poetry, personal stories, reflections and
prayers, all intended to more closely examine the call to change
and follow Christ.
Goshen College annually celebrates the special seasons of the
church calendar, Advent and Lent, with online devotions. To
access the devotions or sign-up to receive them in your inbox, go
to: www.goshen.edu/devotions.
One devotion subscriber said, “I look forward to each
day’s devotions and have found them very meaningful and
inspirational.” Another commented, “I very much
appreciate the devotions. They are written by real people, regular
people. Thank you for providing this service.”
