Only One Week Left! Have You Sent In Your 2026 LMB Submissions?

For nearly 25 years, Christ Church has published an annual Lenten Meditation Booklet and distributed it to our parishioners on the Sunday before Ash Wednesday. The LMB is created with love and designed to assist us all in times of quiet contemplation, preparing ourselves for rebirth and renewal at Easter. Poems, quotes, stories of reflection, images, prayers, and inspirational pieces by writers or theologians - they all come together to make up this special booklet - one that you can take home with you and use each day throughout the season. The 2026 Spiritual Life Theme is Building Relationships through Love, and you can learn more on our website's SLC page - https://www.christchurchcolumbia.org/spiritual-life-commission

To accomplish the LMB in time, we must have all submissions in by Sunday, February 1, so we can edit and publish this work in physical and digital form, the latter of which is viewed by many thousands of individuals worldwide throughout Lent. That gives us less than one month for submissions, so please don't delay. You can submit these by name or anonymously - your choice.

If you need help getting started, visit christchurchcolumbia.org/lenten-meditations and check out past reflections. Submit yours by email to SL@christchurchcolumbia.org or place it in the Spiritual Life mailbox in the Church Office. Questions? Speak with Ellen Hoke at church or email the address above.
