Christ Calls at the Crossroads

A ministry of Mennonite Spiritual Directors for Eastern Canada
Written and compiled by Janet Bauman, Thomas Beech, Alissa Bender, Ilene Bergen, Anne Brubacher and Steph Chandler Burns
What is Lenten Guided Prayer (LGP)?
LGP is a contemplative prayer resource for individuals, small groups and congregations. It provides weekly prayer sheets, an invitation to share with others (in person or online) and opening and closing liturgies for the Lenten season.
LGP is rooted in lectionary scripture texts and complement the worship resources in Leader Magazine. Leader
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025.
This Year's Theme
As we prepared to write these materials we imagined Christ calling us at the crossroads of our lives, to draw near, to choose compassion and peace, to disrupt binaries, to pursue wholeness and to risky restoration. We pray these materials will help you to grow spiritually as you reflect on Christ’s calling on your life this Lenten season.
How Does Lenten Guided Prayer Work?
Prayer sheets are easily distributed by email to your whole congregation on a weekly basis for individual use. (They are also available in a booklet format.) Small group reflections (in person or online) enhance the experience. Elements of the prayer sheets may be incorporated into worship or a retreat. We encourage you to use the LGP resources in whatever way works best for your context.
