Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday and Lenten Meditations

(posted Jan. 12, 2023)

Episcopal Relief & Development works in collaboration with church partners and other local organizations to facilitate healthier, more fulfilling lives in communities that are struggling with hunger, poverty, disaster and disease. They also work around the world and here in the U.S. responding to and rebuilding after disasters.

ERD Sunday

Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday is February 26, 2023, or another convenient time during the Lenten season. This is a time to pray, offer collections for the organization and learn more about our work. Over the years, congregations that observe the day have done amazing, creative activities, and we are blessed to be a part of it.

ERD Lenten Meditations

This Lent, ERD is reflecting on the call to all Christians to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Throughout the season, reflections will focus on the question, “Who Is My Neighbor?” with themes inspired by the Revised Common Lectionary readings for the Sundays in Lent. We are grateful for its author, the Rev. Robin Denney, rector of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Napa, California, and for her careful and insightful work.

This year's Lenten Meditations can be received as daily emails, downloaded in a PDF booklet or read on the ERD website. Readers are also invited to share their own responses to weekly reflection questions related to each theme.
