It's hard to believe that Lent is almost here, and the pandemic is still raging.  Some days it's hard to be motivated.  But just as the snowdrops are flowering and the signs of spring are emerging, so the coming of Ash Wednesday reminds us of the hope we have in our Saviour.  What will your Lent look like this year?  So much has been revealed about our lives over the past year - what do you want to change?  Whether you want to take up a daily prayer habit, delve into Scripture or plan activities with your family, check out the Lent resources from Northampton. There's something for everyone.

Pathways of Prayer re-launches

If you've ever wanted to pray more regularly but don’t know

how to start, or wanted to explore some different ways to pray,

this six week course from the Pastoral Ministry Office could be

the perfect resource for you this Lent.  A series of short videos, reflections and activities, over the six weeks you'll explore what

prayer is, figure out how to make prayer central to your life, and

try out a whole series of ways of praying.  You can do it on your

own, with a group of friends or parishioners, or join the diocesan

group online on Monday evenings.
 

A taster from the course:

Bishop David encourages us to nurture our prayer life this Lent.

This Lent, CAFOD is inviting everyone to join the 40 day challenge to Walk for Water and get sponsored (or sponsor others) so that people like Abdella from Ethiopia, who has to walk 10hrs each day to collect water, wouldn’t have to.
