Re-launching Lent 2021

Prayer is so important because it is food and drink to our spiritual lives.

In these six sessions, we will explore the nature and purpose of prayer and how it fits into everyday life.  We will be reflecting on our own way of praying and how it may have changed over time, before considering together how our parishes and pastoral areas can help support us in growing as people of prayer. For each weekly topic, there are different resources to read, watch and think about on the website.  You can explore these at any time that suits you through the week.  There is a printable journal that you can use to track your progress.

The course can be undertaken by individuals, but like any learning, can benefit from being part of a group to exchange ideas, thoughts and experiences.  The sessions will work really well as a parish Lent group over zoom, or you can join the diocesan group by clicking here: https://pathways-of-prayer.eventbrite.co.uk.

You can register for the course now, and the content will be released as we approach Ash Wednesday.

I want to lead a group

If you would like to run Pathways of Prayer in your parish, there’s plenty of help.  We have full session-by-session notes, and advertising material to help you recruit participants.

Pathways of Prayer opened a whole new horizon to me. It gave me access to Spiritual Leaders I did not know existed and encouraged me to make a little more fruitful use of my computer. It gave me insight and encouragement and also increased confidence in expressing my faith.
