What if Lent began at your kitchen table? Lent at the Table is a six-week devotional journal that invites you to slow down, share a meal, and encounter Jesus in the everyday rhythms of eating together. Each week follows a different meal Jesus shared with people — and asks what those meals have to say about your own life, faith, and table.

Lent is more than giving something up. It's a season to look intently at your life — to notice where God is present, where you've drifted, and what it might mean to follow more closely. And it turns out, one of the best places to do that is right where you already gather: the table.

Lent at the Table moves through six meals from the Gospel of Luke — from Levi's banquet to the Last Supper — drawing out the themes of invitation, abundance, generosity, restoration, and presence. Each week connects the ancient story to the ordinary moments of your daily life, especially the moments when you sit down to eat.

Whether you use it on your own, as a couple, or as a family, this journal gives you a gentle, grounded way to move through the season — not with more guilt or pressure, but with more intention and grace.

Each week includes:

• A Scripture passage and guided reflection questions
• A devotional focus connecting the biblical meal to everyday life
• Weekly table practices — from setting an extra place to inviting a neighbor to dinner
• A flatbread recipe (with a gluten-free option) to make and share
• Simple spiritual practices for on-the-go moments throughout the week
• Journaling pages to capture where you sense God's presence

The six weekly themes follow Jesus from his first dinner with Levi the tax collector, through the feeding of the five thousand, the parable of the great banquet, the story of Zacchaeus, and all the way to the Last Supper — ending Holy Week with a reflection on haroset, the bittersweet Passover food that holds both suffering and hope.

This journal makes a meaningful gift for anyone entering the Lenten season — and a beautiful companion for small groups, church communities, or families looking for something to do together around the table.
