Season of Lent | 2021
“Our human destiny is not to live in ruins but for the ruins to be rebuilt and for us to partner with God in this rebuilding. Because of Jesus, God’s Anointed One, to which the prophets pointed, light and love, justice and peace can rule where lives respond to God’s good news.”
Children and Family resource
Our children and family ministry team have produced a resource for families and churches to use during Lent, designed to complement the study guide. Download your copy, free of charge, here.
Video sermons
Each year we produce six video sermons for churches to use on each Sunday of Lent. This year, they do not follow the study guide, but adhere to the Lectionary readings. You can watch them here, or go to Vimeo to download them.

Bishop Justin Duckworth and Rev. Chelsea Kirby preach on Mark 1: 9-15.

Joe and Katrina McGarry share their experience of carrying their cross, reading from Mark 8:31-38.

Lent 4: For God so loved the world
