About Me

Lutherans Connect: Lutherans Connect is an online portal for devotional projects with an ecumenical reach. Begun in association with Lutheran Campus Ministry Toronto in 2008, now, in 2024, Lutherans Connect has evolved over the years into its own dedicated ministry which publishes devotionals in relationship to the seasons of the church and the times in between. Recently, the Lutherans Connect devotional ministry has come under the auspices of the Centre for Spirituality and Media at Martin Luther University College in Waterloo, Ontario. The Lutherans Connect online devotional projects are supported by Martin Luther University College and the Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, through its Mission Committee partnerships.

About This Devotional

In Lent, we mark the journey with Jesus in the wilderness. Lutherans Connect invites you to make space for that journey, by joining us from Monday to Saturday until Palm Sunday and every day in Holy Week. As usual, we will bring together scripture readings, poetry, music, reflection and images from a wide range of ecumenical traditions in a daily online devotion.

This Lent, we will consider the sixth day of Creation, when human beings were formed alongside the creatures of earth and sea, and given the gift of stewardship of that vast abundance. How do we hear the problematic word ‘dominion’ in an era of profound climate emergency? How can the instruction to ‘subdue’ the earth and its creatures be heard anew in a time when hundreds of species are going extinct every day?

During the next few weeks, we will travel to places in the world where people are finding ways to work with the earth instead of on it, developing and caring for plants and creatures as if the future of all of us did indeed depend on it.

Join us on Ash Wednesday, and every day except Sundays, as we reframe ourselves within the story of the sixth day to be prophetic disciples and stewards of God’s ‘very good’ creation. How can we still reclaim God’s deepest hope for us and for the world?

Starts Wednesday, March 2nd until Sunday, April 17th, every day except Sundays. And may the peace of Christ be with you this Lent!
