Daily Devotions – 5 million sent!
Early this month, LCA Daily Devotions reached a milestone worth celebrating when the total number of emails sent to subscribers reached 5 million! That’s 5 million daily doses of God’s word and the encouragement and inspiration carried into daily lives from reflecting on Scripture and being reminded of our Heavenly Father’s unfathomable love for us.
Since this very popular ministry began in 2017, many thousands of members and friends of the LCANZ – from Australia, New Zealand and around the world – have welcomed the devotions into their email inboxes each day.
However, when the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in lockdowns and restrictions, the Daily Devotions took on a new shape and a greater importance. Rather than continuing to share previously published devotions, new meditations and reflections based on the daily lectionary readings were written by both lay and ordained people from across the church – a practice that continues to this day.
Dozens of members of our church have contributed in this way in the four years since, and we thank God for the wonderful people who wrote devotions for one or more weeks in 2024. Thank you for using your gifts to serve the thousands of us who read these words each day. You can see who has written devotions in 2024 here, and keep them in your prayers.
