Beauty for Ashes
The restrictions of lockdown this Lent present us with a real opportunity to go through this season focusing on own selves and souls, and potentially reap the rewards of a holier, deeper and more wholesome relationship with the Lord, at the end of it.
Lent then is the perfect opportunity to return to our deep relationship with God, to listen to him, to offer the ashes of our own lives, that he may exchange them for beauty, and give us hope, courage, mercy and love in abundance.

On Sunday morning, I took the well known opening passage from John’s Gospel and talked about three things:
Through this passage we are welcomed into the story of God personally.
We as the Church are called to be light to the world.
God came to us. To be with us, to be close to us.
There are a wide variety of things that we can do to deepen our relationship with God, even in lockdown. God isn’t limited by social distancing like we are. The crucial thing is that we do something rather than nothing.

Pray for our nation
Pray for our nation
The UK's C-19 death toll sadly passed 100,000 people last week.
The bishops of our Diocese, +Steven, +Olivia and +Alan have echoed calls from the Archbishop of York and the Archbishop of Canterbury to join together at 6pm every day to pray for the nation.
Although the Archbishops suggest 6pm, you can pray any time, anywhere.
We recommend following these words based on Psalm 23, written by Bishop Steven. Find a regular time each day when you can spend a moment of quiet casting your fears onto God.
