This year Lent begins Feb. 14. If you are looking for new Lenten resources, check out the website for CommonWord, a collabora­tion of Mennonite Church Canada and Canadian Mennonite Uni­versity.

In preparation for Lent, CommonWord has curated a collection of resources for this season of the church year. Included in the col­lection are books, songs, and worship resources such as sermon starters, dramatic monologues, prayers and calls to worship. To browse this collection, visit  commonword.ca/go/2213.

Lenten prayer guide available

CommonWord is also highlighting a Lenten devotional resource. “Hungering for Hope” is the theme of a Lenten guided prayer resource for 2024 offered by the Mennonite Spiritual Directors of Eastern Canada.

“Hungering for Hope” is a contemplative prayer resource which can be used by individuals, small groups, or congregations. It in­cludes weekly prayer sheets, an invitation to share with others (in person or online), and opening and closing liturgies for the Lenten season.

The cost of this resource is $20 for individuals, $10 for students, and $40 for groups/congregations. For more information or to register, please see https://bit.ly/LentenGuidedPrayer.
