This week, in the fifth of our Lent series of videos, Andy Broadbent reflects on Jesus’s teaching about prayer in the Sermon on the Mount – and how timely that is this Lent.

Also, this weekend marks a year since we had the last services in our church buildings before the first ‘lockdown’.  As we approach all of these first anniversaries, we thank God for bringing us through this time, for all we have learned together and how our life continues in so many ways, including on-line.  Many of us have experienced a deepened, inner life of prayer – so fitting for today’s video.

In the fourth of our Lent series of short films, Rev Susan Blagden uses different depictions of the cross to reflect on what ‘taking up our cross’ can mean for us today.

In the second of our series of videos for this season of Lent, Rev David Parry reflects on the ready connection we can make, in this time and place, with Christ’s time in the wilderness.

This week’s video forms a bridge between our two months of exploring the nature of hope, and the season of Lent which ultimately leads to the resurrection hope of Easter. Here, Rev Eryl Parry anticipates Lent 2021, when we have already been denied so many things, as a time of blessing. Checkout this link for all that’s on offer this season.

The fourth in our series of interviews, exploring the experiences of people during this period of more restricted living. Carol Burstow reflects on her connections with a church in India, ministry there during the pandemic and what that has taught her about living the Christian life.

The third in our series of stories about people who have found a creative way to respond to the pandemic and deepen their faith.

We hope you enjoy this week’s story in our series ‘People of Hope’ – a lovely mix of interview with Chris Roberts, sacred music and some of the stained glass windows in St Mary’s Conwy.
