Isaiah 58:6-12
Is not this the fast that I choose…?

A Welcome Reflection by Allison Duvall

 

Dear friends,

Thank you for your interest in being part of Episcopal Migration Ministries’ journey through the Lenten season. We are grateful to have you join us for daily prayer, devotions, and reflection.

Beginning on Ash Wednesday, February 17, we will post a daily devotional (subscribe to receive by email) that offers a reflection on a portion of Isaiah 58:6-12, pondering the text and its meaning through the lens of migration. You are welcome to invite others to join, and we encourage you to forward the emails along. We will also share the daily devotions on our social media channels, and welcome you to share.

As you pray and engage with the devotions, you will be joining with so many others across the Episcopal Church and the country who are doing the same. Together, #WeAreEMM: we form a community of prayer, reflection, and action.

Throughout the daily devotional series, we will share ways that you can become more involved in the work of Episcopal Migration Ministries. We also invite you to share the ways that you are involved in migration ministry. We would love to hear from you.

EMM is a ministry of the whole Church and her people. Through this work, we welcome, support, and advocate for our newest neighbors, and are met by Christ and transformed in the process.

Blessings to you this Lenten season. We are grateful to walk with you.
