Lent 26 T Setting the table 1

Welcome to the table: where God feeds the hungry, lifts up the excluded, and overturns injustice. This Lent, we follow Jesus to the table — and take our place as guests and givers of grace.

In a moment shaped by division and scarcity, the simple image of a table speaks with surprising hope. In Scripture, tables are places of welcome and abundance – where outsiders are drawn in, needs are met, and God’s generosity overflows. They’re also the places where Jesus confronts what excludes or exploits, overturning what harms the vulnerable.

This Lent, the Table invites us into embodied practices of fellowship, generosity and justice – always leading us back to Jesus: our host, our servant, our challenger of injustice, and the one who satisfies every hunger.

Scripture-rooted devotions from theologians, artists, and non-profit and ministry leaders around the world.

Praise for Tearfund's Lent Series:

I'm excited by the crossovers of creativity, people's stories of faith and their response to injustice that all came together so beautifully in this series.

I use Tearfund's Lent series to share with others and get a broader world perspective at Easter time.

The cards as well as the emails and online resources helped provoke thoughtful exploration and many angles of prayer.

Great series! Thank you for a fabulous, thought provoking resource.

Tearfund's Lent series is now my annual Lent thing.

The reflections were useful for my family especially bringing us diverse views of faith and showing us the broader Christian community. We found them moving and thought-provoking.

Tearfund's Lent series has given me new things to think and pray about.

I share Tearfund's Lent series with my home-group; it's helped us discuss and think more.

Our lives often only 'permit' scant attention to the deeper, underlying issues and strengths in our lives - it's helpful to have aids like Tearfund's Lent series which focus us better!

Tearfund's Lent series has inspired me to listen more intentionally.

Every year our small group studies the lent series. It is very good. We look forward to it each year.

Just a note to say how amazing this Lent series is and what a gift to the world at this time. The art, words and invitation, just beautiful.
