This Lent, we hope both adults and children might engage in God’s plea for us to “Care for Creation”. It is an opportunity for us to rebuild our relationship with our planet, and in turn with the God who is Lord of everything.
Archbishop Justin Welby & Archbishop John Sentamu
This year we are using the Church of England's Lent Campaign for 2020 - #LiveLent: Care for God’s Creation. With weekly themes shaped around the first Genesis account of creation, it explores the urgent need for humans to value and protect the abundance God has created. This year’s #LiveLent challenge offers 40 short reflections and suggested actions to help you, your family and your church live in greater harmony with God, neighbour and nature.
You can pick up a booklet in Church or click here to download the #LiveLent app or sign up for daily emails. There will be time to reflect on the contents of the booklet, in the context of Compline, at the Barn 8pm, every Tuesday in Lent.
