Lent

• Most people associate Lent with just giving stuff up

• It’s about much more than simply denying yourself

Lent• Rather than give up

cakes, or chocolate• This year, why not take

something up• Why not do something

for someone else?• Collect for Joseph’s

education in Uganda• Why not exercise a

little kindness to others

As our Saviour taught us, so we pray…

Our Father, who art in heavenhallowed be Your name,Your kingdom come, Your will be done,hallowed be Your name. Hallowed be Your name.

On earth as it is in heaven,hallowed be Your name,give us this day our daily bread,hallowed be Your name. Hallowed be Your name.

And lead us not into temptationhallowed be Your name,but deliver us from all that is evil,hallowed be Your name. Hallowed be Your Name.

For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory,hallowed be Your name,for ever and for ever and ever,hallowed be Your name. Hallowed be Your Name.

Amen, amen, it shall be so,hallowed be Your name,amen, amen, it shall be so,hallowed be Your name. Hallowed be Your Name.
