This week Lent Event rolls out its faith resources to more than 780 participating congregations right across Australia. Lent Event welcomes Western Australian communities, joining the growing movement of Australian faith communities seeking to come alongside our international partners burdened by material disadvantage.

Lent Event’s ‘This One Life’ is the essential discipleship companion for 2012 combing a six-part discussion series and daily devotional guide. The small group discussion series asks ‘How can we live authentic lives that honour God with the transformational love Jesus showed?’ This important question for people of faith will explore options for walking more closely in the way of Jesus Christ.

Through these 40 days of prayer, study, worship and action, participants will experience stepping deeper into the flow of God’s grace by dwelling in the way of Jesus Christ and opening up to the transformation of the Holy Spirit. By the end of the forty days, people can look forward to a new or deepened relationship with God and with God’s people living in poverty.
