Members from three local churches have come together to produce a Daily Devotional for this year’s Lenten season. The booklets were published in hardcopy form and distributed within the participating churches, but electronic copies of the devotions are presented here.
If you want a printed copy, visit or contact one of the participating churches:
- Trinity United Methodist Church (Mullica Hill)
- Zion Community Church (Clarksboro)
- Pitman United Methodist Church
People from the following churches also contributed articles:
(“UMC” stands for United Methodist Church):
- Belin Memorial UMC (Murrells Inlet, SC)
- Bethlehem Lutheran Church (Delmar, NY)
- Calvary Chapel of South Jersey (West Deptford, NJ)
- Evangelical UMC (Clarksboro)

Daily Devotions for Lent 2020
The devotional is presented in PDF format (use the free Adobe PDF viewer to read). Instead of presenting the entire booklet in one file (and forcing you to scroll through the whole thing to find the current date’s article), the booklet is broken up into separate week-by-week files.
To read the article for any given date, scroll down to the desired month, click the weekly tab you want, then click on the button (buttons for February and April are shown without tabs). Except for week 1 (which begins with Ash Wednesday), all the files begin with Sunday and run through Saturday of the indicated week.
Enjoy; and may God bless your devotional time!

Symbols of Lent
During Lent, we use symbols that relate to the themes of the season: the themes of repentance, renewal, hope, and joy.
Devotion…
As we pass through this season of Lent and Easter, remember the words of Paul (in his letter to the Philippians)…
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me — put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
The devotional presented in this post shares how God has touched each of the writers in a special way. As we read through these articles, “think on these praiseworthy things” and allow God to draw you closer to Him during this special season.
