Against Our Will.

The United Society Lent course continues this week, discussing forms of modern slavery, including bonded labour and human trafficking. There are 1.2 million children trafficked every year and an estimated 20.9 million people are victims of forced labour worldwide.

Carrie Myers, the Volunteering Manager at Us came to preach at St Chad's on the 1st Sunday of Lent. Carrie's sermon can be found here.

United Society prayer for the Fourth Sunday of Lent
God of all comfort, for those who have lost hope
let us be your channel of light;
to those who doubt they can be loved
let us be your warm arms of welcome.
Make us into reservoirs of your grace,
willing to be obedient to your plan.    

For further information on the course or the United Society see the Lent Course page.
