Small Group Study – Lent 2015


Welcome to this Resource Page where you will find what you need for leading the Lent Study.

Please feel free to share this page with all the leaders on your Pastoral Charge/Parish if you have more than one group. You are also welcome to share the page with the members of your groups. Your registration covers use for your Pastoral Charge/Group/Parish.

The Audio Recordings are easier than ever to download and save to your laptop/computer so you can play them without an internet connection. Look for the download icon download-simple-black-icon-512 in the top right hand corner of the audio track and follow the download directions.

The print files are available in PDF version. You can also download and save these to your computer.

Please, if you have any issues with downloading or opening files email me and I will do whatever I can to help or send you materials another way. Email

As you begin meeting with your groups, I also encourage you to ‘leave a comment’ below introducing yourself and where you are from and describe your group. This helps us hold one another in prayer as we journey through Lent together.
