Welcome to
Hungering for Hope
A Lent resource for individuals, small groups and congregations
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.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 14, 2024.
This Year's Theme
As we wrote these materials, the world seemed to be in a very weary place. We recognized we were hungering for hope. Where can authentic hope be found? Can we see both the terrible and the wonderful, the tragic and the gorgeous? What happens when we embody trust, surrender, openness, beauty, rebirth and reconciliation? Join us in our searching and hungering.
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.
