Exile, hospitality, and migration are recurrent themes in the Bible and throughout the history of the church. As we grapple with these issues as Christians, we invite you to make these prayers and scriptural passages part of your Lenten devotions. May they help guide your Lenten journey and help us find in Christ our Promised Land. Starting on Ash Wednesday, and continuing through Lent, Forward Movement invites you to a season of prayer. Each day we will offer you a prayer from The Book of Common Prayer or a passage from the Bible.
For churches and small groups, Forward Movement has produced FREE downloadable bulletin inserts in English and Spanish to print and utilize throughout the season (see below for links). Beginning March 1, daily images with prayers or scripture readings will also be posted on Facebook and Twitter.

El exilio, la hospitalidad, y la migración son temas recurrentes en la Biblia y en la historia de la iglesia. Por ser cristianos, estos temas son para nosotros un permanente desafío. Durante esta Cuaresma, te invitamos a que adoptes estas oraciones y pasajes bíblicos como parte de tus devociones. Que guíen tu peregrinaje cuaresmal y que nos ayuden a encontrar en Cristo nuestra Tierra Prometida.
Empezando el Miércoles de Cenizas, y continuando durante la Cuaresma, Forward Movement te invita a participar de un ciclo de oración. Cada día ofreceremos una oración de El Libro de Oración Común o un pasaje de la Biblia.
Para iglesias y grupos pequeños, Forward Movement ha producido encartes GRATUITOS es español e inglés que puedes descargarse, imprimirse, y usarse semana tras semana (ver los enlaces aquí abajo). Empezando el 1° de marzo, colocaremos imágenes con las oraciones y escrituras diarias en español (en Facebook) y en inglés (en Facebook y Twitter). Más información en español.
