Lenten Devotional Email Series from the ELCA

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, singing, "To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!” Revelation 5:13

The ELCA is sponsoring a Lenten e-mail series, Living Earth: A 40-day Reflection on our Relationship with God's Creation. This year’s theme, “Joining the Hymn of All Creation” reminds us that our relationship with our neighbors, our world, and all creatures, great and small, is a gift of communion given us by God from creation’s beginning.

Through the course of the reflections participants are challenged with a journey of urgency and hope to:
* give thanks for God’s gifts of abundance
* face the hard facts of our misuse of creation
* read signs of hope for a new way
* learn how we can live "into" God’s promise to make all things new in Christ.

Each week you will find resources for learning, and suggestions for individual and communal action focusing on a range of environmental issues.
