The season of Lent has historically been a time when Christians reflect on their relationship with God and the meaning of Christ’s death and resurrection for our lives. This period of forty days (minus Sundays) begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes on Easter Sunday. For many, it is a time of growth through spiritual disciplines and more intentional reflection.

During this season of Lent, we are inviting Midland University's broader community to reflect on what it means to be a community "in Christ".  This devotional is filled with writings from many different perspectives, including alumni, faculty, students, staff, parents, and Midland University President, Jody Horner.

There are daily devotionals for each day of the week with a spiritual practice introduced each Sunday. You are encouraged to try each of these practices for the day or the coming week. Most devotionals include scripture in the pages. If you do not have a Bible you can read them at Bible.com. We trust you will find a diverse set of perspectives that guide you in your own reflections. May the Spirit work in and through your season of Lent as you continue to discover what it means to be “in Christ.”
