PLEASE PRAY that we will #LiveLent – not paralysed by guilt, worry or fear – neither irresponsible or careless – but emboldened and empowered by our faith in the unfailing grace of Jesus Christ, God incarnate.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – John 3, 1-17 – For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
