This set of devotions were used on a Boundary Waters Canoe Trip. It is simple in form to keep true to the simplicity of being in nature, slowing down and having a break from technology. It uses biblical texts, song and questions to draw participants into discussion and thoughtful reflection. It is a nice way to end the day and reflect on time in nature and in community. The devotions are divided into five days, which break down into four evening reflections and a fifth reflection/communion service done on the morning of departing from the Boundary Waters. See “things to think about” below to aid you in leading. Obviously, these devotions could be used in multiple settings/experiences. This set of devotions were set up for a specific route in the Boundary Waters with a group of adult women. You will need to tweak it to fit your experience. When I refer to BWCA it means Boundary Water Canoe Area.
