As we approach the events of Holy Week and Easter, the Church is traditionally invited into spiritual practices. These practices, or disciplines, soften our hearts and prepare us spiritually to be transformed on an ever-deepening level by the good news of Easter.
This year in particular there are many concerns and worries we may hold, and Lent can be a good time of focused prayer and action as we wait and work for the Kingdom of God to come in its fullness. Throughout the season of Lent we will be providing a number of opportunities to live into our vocation as image-bearers of Christ in a world that is particularly in pain right now:
Pray:
-
- Join us on Saturday, April 5 from 10am-3pm for a Day of Prayer for our world. This time together will include worship and different forms of prayer, including space for lament and creativity.
- There are many needs in the world today, and prayer is one way that we can work for the good of the world from wherever we are, in a way that is far more powerful than we can know. In the attached Lent , you can find reflections and suggestions for prayer for each week of Lent, each focusing on a different theme.
Give:
-
- Locally: We are raising $1000 for our Triniteens and Campaigners to provide supplies for local shelters during their March Break this year. Excess money and money donated after March break will go to future projects of the same nature.
- Globally: Many Christian aid organisations have had their funding cut drastically over the past couple of months, hampering and halting essential aid initiatives around the world. As Christians, our call is to love our neighbour as ourselves, and giving to those in need is one way that we can push back against the darkness. Throughout the season of Lent, we will be partnering with Alongside Hope (formerly PWRDF), the outreach arm of the Anglican Church in Canada, to come alongside one of those organisations, Church World Service, which has worked in refugee resettlement for over 75 years.

One particular area Alongside Hope is focusing on is support to refugees having to return to refugee camps, after having flight plans terminated. It is hard to capture how devastating this has been for families – as many waited years to complete the process and, in the final weeks before their planned departure to the US, had sold household items and even given up their homes. They are now returning with nothing. There are ten families in this situation at the moment. Alongside Hope is providing grants of $5000 for each of these families to get back on their feet in the camps after this devastating turn of events. We are hoping to raise $10,000 at Little Trinity – enough for two of these families to begin rebuilding their lives as they re-enter the refugee process.
To give, visit our regular Little Trinity giving channels and note that your donation is for Alongside Hope.
