Lent 2022
The Church observes Lent as a preparation for Passion-tide and Easter and as a time of more focused growth in Christ-likeness, holiness and maturity. By self-denial and the spiritual disciplines of prayer and fasting, study and worship, in a more concentrated way over six and a half weeks, we seek to train our souls and partner with God in his gracious work in our lives.
This year Ash Wednesday is on the March 2nd. There will be a service in church with ashing at 7:30pm. Fr Ken has come up with a brilliant idea of how we can do ashing in a covid-secure way.
Lent Talks
This year the Lent talks will be based on this passage:
11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
I Timothy 6:11-12
These two verses from Paul’s first letter to his apprentice are packed with urgent exhortation to godliness. But what does Paul’s charge to Timothy mean and how can we put it into practice in our own lives? What are the Lenten practices that might help us to follow these imperatives?
The talks will be posted each week.
1. March 10th Flee from all this
2. March 17th Pursue righteousness and godliness
3. March 24th Pursue faith and love
4. March 31st Pursue endurance and gentleness
