Read Along with the 2021 Lenten Devotional Series
This Lent, some of Buncombe Street UMC’s gifted laity will lead us with written devotions to help us follow in the footsteps of the disciples using the book, Discovering our Spiritual Identity by Trevor Hudson. In addition to reading the devotions, which will be e-mailed three times a week, you are welcome to read the book along with our authors.
Below you will find the schedule for the publication of the written devotions. You are also invited to participate in a discussion group led by Pastor Karen Jones that will be held every Tuesday night at 7:00 PM on Zoom.
