  • Lent Week 2 – God Seeks the Lost…and invites us to join

Luke 15:1-10 We are following the Archbishop of Canterbury's #LiveLent 2021 material.

"It could be good to spend time this Lent asking, who are the lost people in our communities? Who are those we walk past each day without a second thought? Who are the downtrodden, the marginalized and the oppressed? The love of God is not only for them, but it is especially for them."
