How to Pray

Lent Course: March 2023
How to pray is a question so many of us ask.

We know, deep down, that prayer is
important, but many of us struggle with
knowing just how to approach it. We worry
about when to pray, what to say and whether our prayers are good enough.

Wayne and Lawrence will be running a course during Lent 2023
to help all those involved to feel more confident in prayer and to
deepen their relationship with God. The sessions will be based
on materials from the 24-7 Prayer Course and the book, ‘How

to Pray’ by Pete Greig. It will take place every Wednesday
during March during the day, with each session repeated in the
evening if enough people would like this.

This course has been chosen to dovetail with the Diocesan ‘Year
of Prayer’ which Bishop Richard is
leading for the whole of 2023.

For more information please contact

Wayne or Lawrence.

Book review: Hope in the Face of

Suffering

Hope in the Face of Suffering - 20 devotions
for Tough Times

By Jeremy Marshall, 10 Publishing, £3.99

The pandemic has made all of us wake up to the
reality of suffering and death. Do we each have a
philosophy of life that copes with death?

Thankfully Jeremy Marshall helps us get the roof on
before the storm hits. As he has lived with an

incurable cancer diagnosis for five years, so he has the
credentials to walk us through the Bible's story of
hope, which wonderfully assures us that for the
believer, death is never the last thing.
