What is it?

This Lent, Equip Hub’s Lent Series will explore the same themes as the Church of England’s Lent Reflections – ‘Living Hope’. Our series of 45 minute Zoom gatherings, will complement the resources produced by the National Church, including a booklet and daily reflections.

The ‘Living Hope’ weekly zoom gathering, hosted by Anna Naish and Rob Harrison, will provide opportunity to reflect together with others on the day to day challenges and benefits of living in hope. These will take place from 8.00pm to 8.45pm, on Thursdays from 13th March, and include contributions from a different guest each week.

The weekly themes are:

13th March: Imperfect – Exploring how we hold on to hope in lives that are messy and a world that is imperfect.

20th March: Together – Exploring the ways joining with others allows us to find hope ourselves and offer hope to those who need it.

27th March: Trusting – Exploring what it means to trust in the hope God promises, even when we feel uncertain about the future.

3rd April: Noticing – Exploring how we can deepen our hope by noticing signs of what God is doing.

10th April: Courage – Exploring how being rooted in hope can give us courage to face difficulties and seek change.
