news & updates
Friends,

As we make our way through this unusual Lenten season we pray you are feeling connected despite social distancing and surrounded by the Communion of the Saints no matter how you are worshipping, meeting and caring for each other.

As many of us practice social distancing and gatherings are canceled, we at the Presbyterian Outlook are seeking to provide resources for our Lenten journey and ways to stay connected to each other during this challenging season.

To that end, we are creating a weekly video devotion, worship liturgies that you are welcome to use and share no matter what your worship looks like these weeks, and lessons and guides for child-friendly family worship and education. We also invite you to use our weekly lectionary reflections, "Looking into the lectionary" for weekly worship, Bible study or devotions. We will be posting information and resources frequently for as long as we are homebound. Please check our website or follow us on social media for the most up-to-date materials. You can find all of the Outlook's COVID-19 stories with this link.

We are here to support you as you continue being the church and ministering to your communities. 

Grace and peace,
Jill Duffield

What stories do coins bring to mind? What Bible passages? We’ll consider our right relationship to God and subsequently, our right relationship to coins and, indeed, all our resources.
