LENT COURSES

Wheathampstead Churches Together is pleased to offer a choice of 2 Lent courses this year – the Prayer Course and the Christian Aid Course.

The Prayer Course is a journey using the Lord’s Prayer as the centre of our meditations as we approach Holy Week and Easter. Each session includes a video, small group discussion and practical ideas for prayer. The resource “How to Pray” by Pete Greig can be downloaded free from here.

The Christian Aid Course explores Lenten themes (repentance, sacrifice, redemption, reparation and restoration) with bible readings, stories and prayers to stir up ideas of how we can act together for climate justice. Click here for more information.

Both courses will begin after Ash Wednesday (22nd February) and will end before Easter (9th April). Complete this form and return to St Helen’s Church Office.
