Daily Reflections: A Living Hope
These readings and reflections from the Church of England explore how we can have hope in times of frustration or uncertainty; the hope found in joining with others; the invitation to notice signs of hope around us; the courage to face reality and pursue a hopeful future; and the ways God transforms death into life at Easter.
To receive these reflections, download the ‘Everyday Faith’ app, or sign up here for a daily email. Alternatively, booklets will be available at the back of Church from Sunday 23rd February. We ask for a donation of £3, which can be left in the basket by the booklets on a Sunday or Wednesday morning (not to the office, please.)
