Journeying through Lent
Thanks for finding our Lent page. We hope that this collection of resources, put together over a number of years will be of help and encouragement to you as you journey through this significant season in the Christian Calendar.
This is a season when we are invited to find time and create space to reflect on our values and priorities in the light of what our faith teaches us about God's Kingdom. It takes as its framework the 40 days and nights of prayer and fasting that Jesus spent in the desert.
