Love one another – a project for Lent

Following on from the fantastic response to the parable of the
talents during Lent 2023, we will be considering two of the most well known verses in the bible from St John’s Gospel this Lent.

How will we do this?

Everyone is invited to show hospitality to someone they don’t
really know. It could be someone in the congregation or a neighbour in your street. This can take whatever form you wish. At its simplest level, it may be just talking to someone after church and making them feel welcome, or you may decide to invite someone new to your neighbourhood to morning coffee or afternoon tea with a few friends. You may find an offer to help out with a particular task would be appreciated or walking the dog together, inviting someone to join a group you are involved in or even having a supper party.

Whatever you decide to do, you will be showing love to your neighbour just as God shows his love to each of us.

As we welcome all to join us each week at St Mary’s and celebrate our vision as an inclusive church, we have this opportunity to get to know our neighbour. Invitation cards are available from the office if you wish to use them or you can download an ecard here.
