Why not read a book for Lent?

Back home  /  News  /  Lent Book Ideas
the whole easter story

I know it feels like less than five minutes since Christmas, but Lent begins on March 5th (that's less than eight weeks away).

Many people associate Lent with giving something up like chocolate or crisps, but what about deciding to start doing something instead?

Whether we give something up, or start to do something different, we often think about Lent as a personal thing. Jesus dying on the cross and rising again is definitely life-changing for each of us, but what about thinking about what Easter means for the whole created world.

Jo Swinney uses Bible readings, reflections and stories from A Rocha's conservation work around the world to show how the cross transforms not just our own individual connection with Jesus, but also our relationships with each other and our world.

Jo Swinney and Jo Herbert James from A Rocha will be explaining more about the book at a meeting
on Thursday 13th February from 7.30 to 9.00pm
just down the road at St Lawrence Church Centrein Barnwood.
