Jesus and His
Ten Commandments:
A Lenten Journey
By Rev. Ethan Harrison
This year, one of our CTR Lenten Devotionals, Jesus
and His 10 Commandments: A Lenten Journey, is written by Fr. Ethan
Harrison, an Anglican priest, gifted theologian with a pastor's heart, husband,
and father of young daughters. Ethan and I have become friends as we have gone
through a new program, Catechesis and Spiritual Formation, at Trinity School
for Ministry. He has written this Lenten devotional with the Ten Commandments
in mind as part of his capstone project, in hopes that it will benefit families
in their devotional life. However, the content should be profitable for
Christians of all ages, with or without children in your home. We are part of
the beta test this year; if you would be interested in participating in a
survey on your thoughts and ideas of the devotion, please send me your email. The Lenten Devotional can be found here.

Created by Trevecca Okholm
A new
intergenerational Lenten Devotional with younger children (3-6yr old) in mind
is 40 Days of Lent by Trevecca Okholm. We also have access to the
pre-release of this devotional prior to it’s publication. This devotional is
based closely on the principles of our Worship & Wonder model of spiritual
formation at CTR. Trevecca has been a mentor and friend to me in children and
family ministry. She is a seasoned children’s minister and has several
publications. Her heart as a mother, grandmother, and children’s minister is
for family discipleship and intergenerational sharing of the faith to
flourish. The Lenten Devotional can be found here.
