What are the places where you get to share about your faith journey, both the highlights as well as the struggles?
For Lent 2024, all across London Diocese are invited for a deep dive into the theme of listening as a tool for deepening discipleship. We will engage with a simple listening group format that can be used as part of a church, small groups, or other friendship groups. Together we will explore how listening can help create space to pay attention to what God is doing in our lives. Surrounded by a small group of 3-4 people, we are encouraged to listen, notice, lean into discomfort, discern and respond.
This year’s offering will take place over five weeks and is a mix of online sessions hosted by our bishops, as well as small group sessions to work through in our own context using the materials provided.
