Has Your School got a Story of Hope for Lent?
Coventry Diocese is looking for stories of hope from schools to share on the diocesan website over Lent. This is to compliment the Church of England’s theme of ‘Living Hope’.
Examples could be answered prayer, coming together after a time of adversity, children learning more about the hope they can have in Jesus etc.
If your school has a story to share, do let us know at: joanne.evans@coventrydbe.org
