This 2-part devotional resource features a large mosaic-like design filled with 40 shapes to color day-by-day. The individual shapes hold imagery inspired by daily scripture (all the RCL Year B scriptures for Lent and Holy Week). Our Devotional Guide includes scripture, artist reflections, and embodied prayer prompts. We invite you to walk through each day of Lent reading the daily scripture, finding and coloring in the shape inspired by that text, reflecting on the artist's commentary, and offering a short prayer that engages mind, body, heart, and soul.
NEW REVISED VERSION: This file has been revised so that it no longer includes dates from 2018. 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!
Download includes (7 total files):
- The Coloring Calendar formatted for print as a large coloring poster in 3 sizes: 11x17, 18x24, 24x36 (NOTE: we highly recommend printing the calendar 18x24 and larger!)
- Print-ready 26-page PDF of the Embodied Lent Devotional Guide for printing in black & white on 8.5x11 sheets of paper (pages are arranged to fold in half to become an 8.5 x 5.5 booklet)
- A simplified version of the Coloring Calendar (offered for print in 3 sizes) with no imagery inside of the shapes. Use this option for tiny colorers or for educational purposes (idea: during Sunday School, invite participants to think about the ways they connect their mind, body, heart and soul to God. Invite them to write these modes of connection inside the shapes on the calendar).
- One page printing guide for help printing the doc in Adobe Acrobat or Reader

- 18"x24" for $1.79/each
- 24"x36" for $3.59/each

Print the Devotional Guide on 8.5x11 sheets to fold into an 8.5 x 5.5 booklet. Print the PDF under landscape orientation, double-sided, and choose "short edge to short edge," "flip to short edge," or "head to head" for the correct layout. The PDF is arranged so that you can easily fold the pages in half, staple or bind them down the middle, and voila! You have a beautiful devotional to guide you through Lent.
