Lent 2016
/
Welcome: An Invitation
Each Monday, some of our members gather in a group that is loosely called “Scripture and Art” or “Art and Spirituality;” we read the scripture for the coming Sunday and use art, prayer and conversation to reflect on the reading. During Lent, you can join us from the comfort of your living room, kitchen, or bedside with these Lent Coloring Pages.
Adult coloring books are becoming widely used as a spiritual practice—a way to quiet the mind. This series of nine coloring pages create a path moving from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday.

Read the scripture referenced at the bottom each page; pull out some colored pencils, markers, or paint; reflect and pray (with or without words). Each drawing has a word related to the reading. You may discover your own word or phrase when you reflect on the reading. If so, write it down. Draw it into the picture. Add prayer concerns if you choose. This is your spiritual practice. Use it any way that feels right to you.
