BREAD SLICES
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5. Churches and communities of
faith may order free copies of Bread’s “Lenten Prayers for Hungry People” to
distribute to parishoners and others. This year’s “table tent” provides Scripture
readings, prayers, and suggested actions for the six Sundays of Lent following
Year A of the Revised Common Lectionary. To view, download, or order copies,
visit www.bread.org/lent, or call 800-822-7323.
