YOUTH 24

So as we get closer to Easter and we begin to think about what we are going to give up for lent
to help us get closer to God, I ask you this.
Instead of giving up something, that 90% of the time we end up failing anyway,
why not rather take up something?
This Lent, we are going to be running a Lent program called "stepping stones to the cross".
We are going to be giving you 7 bible readings per week, all relating to a weekly theme.
At the end of each week we will be recapping and talking about the readings and themes at the evening service.
The bible readings for each week will be printed in Youth 24 and will also be on the
St Dunstan's Cathedral Website.
So we encourage You to join us on our discovery of God
and the steps Jesus took to save our lives...

Have a wonderful week and we really hope and pray
that this program will enlighten you and bring you closer to God.
