What are the 40-40-40 Practices?

The theme, “Lord, When Did We See You?” comes from Matthew, Chapter 25. Subscribe to receive devotions every day of Lent via email. These short reflections represent diverse voices and circumstances across our church.

Suggested learnings for children, youth, families and congregations such as reading ELCA social teachings, studying Matthew Chapter 25, joining ELCA networks, group studies, etc. are in the Matthew 25 Lenten Practices Toolkit.

Suggested actions, such as volunteering at a food bank, donating clothes and sundries, visiting someone in the hospital, and praying for elected leaders can be found in our Matthew 25 Toolkit.

Pledge to give $1 a day (or more) for the 40 days of Lent to ELCA World Hunger. Your gifts make it possible for the ELCA to respond, supporting sustainable solutions that get at the root causes of hunger and poverty.
