Amid injustice and tragedies, we remember we must first gather around the table for strength so we can respond with love and grace. As we journey through Lent, from the wilderness to the shores of Galilee, we find the sacred in the ordinary—like bread, simple yet essential. 

Bread of Life reminds us there is abundance—more than enough love, grace, and hope for all. If you are weary, lonely, or burdened, come to the table and be fed.

This Lent, gather together to break bread, savor the divine generosity of God, and rise to share with the world out of the abundance we have received from the bread of life.

     Two illustrated sheets titled "Lenten Spiral," featuring a series of connected oval shapes with text inside each. The sheets, one in color and one in black and white, have a swirling path leading from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. The design includes decorative, flowing lines. A logo at the bottom left reads "Bread of Life" with an image of wheat.     Illustrated religious materials on a table, featuring a colorful image of a smiling figure with a beard surrounded by a halo. Text on the materials reads "I Am the Bread of Life" and references the "First Sunday in Lent.” Branding at the bottom left corner says "Bread of Life" with wheat imagery, and "Children's Moments" is displayed prominently at the bottom.     A table holds several religious materials for Lenten devotion, including pamphlets with the title "BREAD of LIFE" and "LENT ONE" detailing a scriptural passage, John 6:32-40. A Bible lies open beside the pamphlets, and a pen is placed alongside them. In the corner is a green cloth. At the bottom of the image is a banner with the text "LENTEN DEVOTIONAL" and a circular logo featuring wheat.     The image shows printed materials related to a religious program titled "Lent for Families" with the logo "Bread of Life." A section labeled "Lent One: Bread of Life" with a reference to John 6:25-40 is visible. The text discusses themes of hunger, fullness, and spiritual nourishment through Jesus. There are also questions for reflection and a prayer. A partially visible Bible is on the right side of the image.     The image shows a table with a printed page titled "Lent One: Bread of Life," featuring scripture from John 6:25-40. The page includes a discussion about the phrase "I am the bread of life" attributed to Jesus. It is accompanied by a Bible open to a page with handwritten notes, and there is a piece of bread partially visible on the left. Decorative elements include a green fabric and some leaves. A logo at the bottom reads "Bread of Life Liturgy & Commentary."          A booklet on a wooden table titled "Bread of Life: Youth & Intergenerational Curriculum." The content includes "Lent One: Bread of Life" activities and prayers. It features sections on opening prayers, sharing experiences with bread globally, and prompts for sharing circles. Cards with questions like "Share your favorite kind of bread" and "Share a time when you followed Jesus by serving others" are visible. The design incorporates a logo of wheat and bread.
