personal prayer time this Lent

#LiveLent 2021.jpg

We are encouraging the communities for Saint Stephen’s and Holy Trinity to engage with #LiveLent2021 - God's Story, Our Story.

There’s a bible passage, reflection and prayer to take us on our Lent journey to Easter.

Wk 6 - holy week - being found by jesus Mon 29th mar to Sun 4th apr

Amazing Grace, a much loved hymn by reformed slave trader John Newton, says: “I once was lost but now I’m found, Was blind but now I see.” Earlier in these reflections we thought about lost things. In this Holy Week we think about some of the different ways in which people are found.

This week, commit to praying regularly for five people in your life who do not, as far as you know, have faith in Christ. Look for opportunities to share your story with them.

You can access the daily #LIveLent reflections on your smart speaker or social media if you follow the Church of England streams. There is also an App. or you can simply sign up for daily emails. Find links here.
