Last-minute Lent Resources

Here is a round-up of Lent resources from The Reflectionary, with some Holy Week items as well. Enjoy!
(And if you like this post, please share it with others who would find it useful too. If each person reading this passes it on to just one extra, that’s a lot of free resources to help God’s people.)

There’s still time to get The Big Story, Lent devotions that take you through the Bible from before the beginning of everything to the glory of Easter Day. Check out the links on the right.

The Reflectionary is free because I believe this stuff is important, but I still kinda need to make a living. (hint, hint)
