How do you do Lent?

This Lent, the clergy team at St Clement’s came up with a bit of a different approach to the ancient custom of observing a holy Lent. We’ve gone with a booklet inviting creative responses to different scripture passages with “prompts” offered by lay leaders and clergy within our congregation. For each of the weeks in Lent, there’s a page with room to write, draw, paint, cut and paste, or leave the booklet behind altogether to go outdoors and explore. We hope this little book inspires you to self-examination, penitence, prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and reading and meditating on the word of God by way of a different route than you’ve maybe tried before. In a world where we’ve too often convinced ourselves that to stay anxious is to stay productive, we hope this offers a productive reframe. Will you join us?
