Lent 2020
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday 26th February. Many like to use lent as a time to grow in faith. This may be in the traditional way of 'going without'. But increasingly many Christians will try to spend more time reading the Bible or praying or serving others. Why not join one of our Lent groups?

This is a book by Ruth Valerio.
Saying Yes to Life lifts our focus from natural, everyday concerns to issues that are having an impact on millions of lives around the world. As people made in the image of God, we are entrusted to look after what He has created, to share in God’s joy and ingenuity in making a difference for good. Ruth Valerio imaginatively draws on the Days of Creation (Genesis 1) as she relates themes of light, water, land, the seasons, other creatures, humankind, Sabbath rest and resurrection hope to matters of environmental, ethical and social concern.
Foundational to Saying Yes to Life is what it means to be human, and in particular, to be a follower of Jesus. Voices from around the world are heard throughout, and each chapter ends with discussion questions and a prayer to aid action and contemplation.
