We’re praying with Jesus using the Diocesan Lent Prayers Too Deep for Words.
Take a copy with you to pray at work, home, school or on holiday.
Thank you, Creator God
You gave life to your world
And renew us with your Holy Spirit
Through this journey of Lent
Inspire us to follow Jesus
In drawing closer to you
That we mayknow your love for us more deeply
And obey you will more joyfully
To the praise of your name. Amen
In Lent we’re trying to make greater space to pray. 5 minutes before each service begins we will be praying in silence. Please try and come early and make space for God in your life.
