For the 2023 Lenten Devotional, the Foundry community will explore the choices each of us is making to grow in sanctifying grace — not by focusing on what we might give up for Lent — but instead discerning: What is God calling me to take on for Lent? You can receive the 2023 Lenten Devotional in a few different ways: via daily email, or we can send you a hard copy in exchange for a $5 donation. We will also have some available at the font desk here at Foundry. Sign up to receive yours at foundryumc.org/taking-on.
