2024 Wesley Community Lenten Devotional

The Wesley Development Team was pleased to share the 2024 Lenten Devotional.

This year Lent started on Valentine's Day, and the theme of the Devotional was Let Love Lead the Way.  With "love in the air" we highlighted some Wesley pairs – spouses, parent and daughter/son, community partners and others. We were delighted to feature these pairs and also share devotions that reflected  many forms of love...self-care, love for family, humanity, nature, Mother Earth, and more.

Please continue to stay connected and support Wesley initiatives like the devotional by making a donation at
