Almighty God,

give us grace to discipline ourselves in submission to your Spirit,
that, as you know our weakness,
so we may know your power to save;
through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, world without end.

Almighty God,
whose Son, Jesus Christ, was wonderfully transfigured
before chosen witnesses upon the holy mountain,
and spoke of the exodus he would accomplish at Jerusalem:
give us strength so to hear his voice and bear our cross,
that, in the world to come, we may see him as he is;
through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.

Lent Course
Live Lent – Embracing Justice (Isabelle Hamley).

This year our Lent Course invites us to examine our own lives truthfully, to see the world more deeply and to pray that ‘justice may roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everlasting stream’ (Amos 4:24).

To do so, we are offered a daily image, a Bible reading, a short reflection and a prayer, as well as a practical action. Each week follows a different thread through the many stories of justice in the Bible to explore how God works with humanity to bring justice, wholeness and salvation to all creation.

Come as often as you can and like. Booklets provided (donation of £1.50 welcome)
