Lent is fast approaching, we have updated this article with some resources we are aware of.

I have been asked about Lenten resources for 2021. You will note that this is a fairly early Lent, so if you are ordering resource material time may be tight.

I am so far aware of the following:

A. The Diocese of Waiapu is preparing a series suitable for small groups and/or individual study: Turning

Turning:

turning towards God

turning towards God’s world, starting at the margins

The six-week progamme is addressed as follows (by weeks):

1. Welcome (to Lent, to this theme)

2. Turning towards God - repentance and reconnection

3. Turning towards God - attending

4. Turning towards God’s world

5. Turning towards God’s world, starting at the margins

6. Turning towards the future

These will be made available by the Diocese of Waiapu when complete. For further information contact deborah.broome@waiapu.com

B. Rebuilding the Ruins is produced by the Wellington Diocese along with Theology House in Christchurch and looks at the ruins in our lives, our Church, and our world, seeking God’s direction to rebuild what has been destroyed. Orders for physical copies need to be in by 3 February. More information is here: https://hail.to/st-barnabas-fendalton/article/s2kOCgX

C. A River through the Desert is offered by St George's College Jerusalem and explores the geography of Israel, following Jesus from Galilee to Golgotha.

Various resources are available for group or individual study during Lent which starts on Wednesday 17 February:

Journey well
