Resources for Lent 2023
from the Church of England
This Lent we are all invited to explore how we can live well with the mess of everyday life.

Dust and Glory encourages us to take a fresh look at the frustrations and failings that every day brings and, rather than pretending we can always avoid them, seek to learn from them and grow closer to God through them.
​
Dust and Glory: A Lent Journey of faith, failure and forgiveness offers a daily Bible reading, a short reflection and a practical challenge, as well as a prayer linked to the week’s theme. Download the app for your smartphone or tablet by following the links on this page on the CofE website.

There are many websites and apps for smartphone and tablets available designed to help with your personal devotions and bible study.
A few have been collected on the new Resources page in the 'Our Community' section.
Please let us know if you know of other websites and apps that you have found useful and should be added to the list.

Food Bank & Hamper Collections
The importance of the foodbanks has much increased in the last weeks. Please consider donating food gifts and money because these really make a difference and are especially important under the present circumstances. 
Currently it is not possible to donate via the church. However there should be donation boxes in the Tesco and Coop stores, or contact ACER.
Do make sure items are in date, non–perishable and not ‘started’ or re–boxed, as such items cannot be used by the food banks.
Thank you for your generosity.

Christians Against Poverty (CAP)

​Debt is an insidious and demoralising problem which affects many people and drastically impacts on lives.

The Axe Valley Debt Centre is now open at St Gregory’s Hall in Seaton

Rev. Alison Finch is the Debt Centre manager. CAP provide a free service to provide solutions to debt problems.
They help anyone regardless of religious beliefs, race, nationality, age, gender, marital status or disability.
Part of Alison’s role is to have befrienders going with her to the families she helps to be a pastoral friend and guide.
This is a role that no other debt company offers and enable CAP to not only help people out of debt but also to talk to them about Faith.
If you feel you could help, please contact Alison at alison.finch@ymail.com or Sharon at shardav5@aol.com
