Pathways Through Lent 2016 Submissions

Pathways Through Lent, our annual series of devotions, is a companion in the deeply spiritual time of Lent. We invite parishioners to contribute to this series by writing a 250-300 word reflection. We have a calendar of readings starting with Ash Wednesday (February 10, 2016) and going through Easter Sunday (March 27, 2016). You can select a day and set of readings or be assigned a day, and we invite you to reflect on those readings or share a couple of paragraphs about the Lenten season. The deadline for all submissions is January 22, 2016. If you are interested in writing a reflection or if you have questions about Pathways Through Lent, please contact Mr. Tom Stork, our 2016 Pathways Editor, at stjohnspathways@gmail.com.
