Lenten Appeal
Lenten Appeal Brochures will arrive at Congregations soon, providing the opportunity to engage in the community with redemptive grace. Our Bishop reflects: “The cross of Christ is the pinnacle of our Saviour’s redemptive mission, reminding us that he knows, understands, cares, and acts in our fallen world – and indeed in our lives – according to his grace.
As we walk our Lenten journey God gives us the opportunity to respond to God’s great sacrifice for us by making a ‘sacrifice of thanksgiving’ (Psalm 116:17) that will support others spiritually and materially.”
