Lenten Study 2026 – We are not alone: through Lent with the Saints.
This year’s Lenten study for the Diocese of Waiapu, prepared by Ministry Educator, Rev’d Dr Deborah Broome is We are not alone: through Lent with the Saints. It can be downloaded from here as a PDF to view online or print out. This is suitable for both small groups and for individuals to do on their own.
There are six studies, corresponding to the six weeks of Lent. Each of these engages with some aspect of the values and strategic priorities we have here in the Anglican Diocese of Waiapu, with discussion of the week’s theme, Biblical passages, and 3 or 4 saints who embody that priority. (For anyone doing these studies who’s not part of our Waiapu whānau: we think they’ll resonate with you anyway, as they lead us deeper into what it is to be one of God’s people in this land.)
