Prayer and Lent

Over the last couple of years we’ve all had to work out different ways to do pretty much everything in life. That has provoked challenges and questions about what we do, and why we do it. And it’s been no different for us as church! 

As we look ahead, we are so very conscious that we need God, and that prayer has to be our underlying foundation, and our fuel, in everything. We want to be pursuing God, following Jesus closely, and be responsive to the Holy Spirit - and we want to create spaces, and regular rhythms, to do that together. 

We are using the run up to Easter (Lent) to do this; to pray, to wrestle with God, to listen, to ask, to intercede, in different ways, and at different times.

We’re excited to do this as a church family, to re-focus on prayer, and to see what God has for us! Please get involved, and do get in touch using the contact form below!
