DIGITAL DOWNLOAD FOR ONE-TIME LICENSE
We have designed this Lenten Coloring Calendar and Companion Devotional Guide to help you build a daily rhythm of reading, reflecting, and coloring throughout the season of Lent. Using the Companion Devotional Guide, you are invited to read the daily scripture text (from the Reformed Common Lectionary Year A) in your preferred translation, and identify and color in the coordinating shape on the Coloring Calendar.
As artists, we have written reflections on the daily scriptures and how the imagery inside the shapes are inspired by them. On Sundays (traditionally considered "Fast days" in Lent), we have included poem prayers by Sarah Are and prompts for Sabbath & weekly reflection. By Easter morning, you will have a fully-colored-in work of art documenting your journey through Lent. The completed, overall poster forms a resurrection image of the empty tomb from the smaller Lenten shapes and images.
NEW REVISED VERSION: This file has been revised so that it no longer includes dates from 2017. All dates have been removed so that you can use this devo for any season. We encourage you to start it on Ash Wednesday and continue daily through Easter!
PRINTING INFO: Download includes three size options for printing the Coloring Calendar as a large poster as well as a print-ready PDF file of the 26-page devo, formatted to print b/w on 8.5x11 sheets to fold into an 8.5 x 5.5 booklet. The PDF is arranged so that you can easily fold the pages in half, staple or bind them down the middle, and voila! Add colored pencils, markers, or fine-point art pens and you're ready to go!
