Lenten
resource from Women of the ELCA
Looking into the Mirror: A Lenten Reflection invites
you to use the Lenten season to refocus your faith life
and realign your relationship with God through 40 days
of reflection. Let us know how you like it.
Looking
into the Mirror is the
first of many new program resources we are unveiling
each month over the coming year. Most will be short and
easy-to-use, requiring minimal preparation — perfect for
an evening program of about an hour.
There will also be resources for the liturgical seasons, for
Raising Up Healthy Women and Girls, on environmental
topics, spiritual practices, and much more. Visit Women
of the ELCA's Web site near the end of each month for at least one new
resource!
Women of
the ELCA’s Sacred Spaces resource
Just as good nutrition, hygiene, diet, and exercise
are part of caring for the body, a personal sacred space
for prayer, meditation, and spiritual thought is needed
for spiritual self-care. In addition to supporting a
practice of worship within a faith community, the
resource supports our health initiative,
Raising Up Healthy Women and Girls, which seeks to
address health holistically—physically, spiritually, and
emotionally. Take a look at Women of the ELCA's new resource,
Sacred Spaces.
A variety of
short, easy-to-use, two-page resources are also planned
for online posting once a month. These range from short
devotional materials related to the liturgical,
cultural, or seasonal calendar to Bible studies and
short programs supporting our health initiative and
other program emphases.
