THE LENT CROSS

  

During Lent we begin our worship with a responsive prayer

during which a symbol for the season is brought forward as

a focus for our worship.

 

Lent Theme: Our Servant King – Pain

 

God seeks to restore creation – to re-make the life of the world.

In the life of Jesus Christ we see the fullness of humanity and God’s hope for the world.

God seeks to restore creation – by transforming the cruelty of our human nature,

Through the love and mercy of Christ.

Amen.
