#LiveLent - A 40-Day Challenge

CHURCHSUITE-LiveLent image.jpg

This year, St John’s will be joining in with the Church of England’’s fantastic #LiveLent series.

#LiveLent: Care for God's Creation is the Church of England's Lent Campaign for 2020. It has been inspired and informed by the Archbishop of Canterbury's 2020 Lent Book, Saying Yes to Life by Ruth Valerio (SPCK).

For the 40 days of Lent there is a daily challenge to help you honour and treasure the earth, plus weekly short prayers and Bible readings on creation themes. You can do this on your own, as a family and join with friends and the wider church for some of the challenges.

For children and families, we have ordered booklets - Sign up on ChurchSuite to reserve your copy for just £1.00 (1 per family).

For adults, we recommend downloading the app, #LiveLent (not available until the week beginning 17 Feb), signing up for the daily emails or keeping an eye out for social media posts. There is also an adult/youth version of the booklet, which you could order from the Church of England website. Find out more at churchofengland.org/livelent.

We hope that we can use this period leading up to Easter to enrich our faith and deepen our prayer lives together. Join us this year as we #LiveLent!
