Lenten Devotional

"Coming Back to Life"- devotions and activities for Lent is available in hard copy inside the door to the Parish Hall and can be downloaded online in an ipad or e-reader friendly version HERE.

During winter, much of the world goes to sleep. And in spring, a truly amazing thing happens, no less amazing because it happens every year: The world comes back to life!
How do living things know it’s time to wake up? It turns out that one of the key signals is light: as the days get longer and longer, many creatures sense that spring is coming, and begin to rise again.
That’s where the word “Lent” comes from: an old English word for “lengthen,” referring to the longer days. 40 days for waking up and getting ready for Easter, a festival of new life celebrating Jesus’ resurrection and the new world that’s on the way.
This booklet is full of ideas and activities that can help us wake up, too, along with all God’s creatures, preparing our hearts, minds, and communities for Easter’s big celebration. Each week, biblical texts and creation’s wonders inspire practices you can try yourself, with your family or friends, or with your congregation.
As a companion to the Lenten devotional we are collection original poems, prayers and photos to be shared at a later date. See the weekly newsletter for more details.

WELCOME
This is the table, not of the Church but of Jesus Christ. It is made ready for those who love God and who want to love God more.
So come, you who have much faith and you who have little, You who have been here often and you who have not been for a long time or ever before.
​You who have tried to follow and all of us who have failed. These are the gifts of God for the People of God.
