Traditionally this is a time of self-discipline where we try through prayer or fasting or reading to become more the people we should be. We were reminded on Ash Wednesday of our mortality and our dependence on God and so we try to grow in our relationship with God. There are various websites that you can use to help you in your Lenten journey and we have various discussion groups that you might like to check out.
St Philip's & Sacred Trinity have a 5 session course running through Lent. It’s called “Life Calling” and is an exploration, with study, discussions and video, of what God is calling us to be and to do. There are evening and daytime opportunities to join in.
