This Lent, the Church of England will once
again be offering the chance to journey through
the season using their Lent Pilgrim resources.
Launched last year, Lent Pilgrim will offer daily
reflections and bite-size bible readings along with a series of Lent challenges, which
can be accessed through a printed booklet, on social media, on the Church of
England’s website or through the Lent Pilgrim smartphone app.
This year, Lent Pilgrim will have a focus on creation and the environment and will
link with the Archbishop of Canterbury’s recommended Lent book, with a weekly
focus based on each of the chapter themes. The book, “Saying Yes to Life” by Ruth
Valerio, will focus on care for creation, lifting our focus from every day concerns to
issues that are impacting millions of lives around the world, and suggest actions we
can take to protect the environment.
God of creation, you love all you have made and all that has evolved,
open the eyes of your people,
that your love might be reflected in our care for the planet.
Through Jesus Christ, who walked this earth and calls us by name.
Amen.
Praying for your Baptism
families: Loving Father God,
bless those parents who
bring their children to
baptism as they care for their
precious family. Give them
the awe and wonder of a
child, to appreciate your
creation. Amen
