Welcome

This website is designed to allow a spiritual search that is not reliant on time or place. To sustain the journey you will need

a) 40 days: the 40 day resource kit is an artistic collaboration between artist Si Smith and poet Chris Goan. It offers an image a day, plus a fragment of poetry. It can be downloaded from here Or if you are physically located close to Opawa Baptist in Christchurch, contact us at cnr Hastings St East and Wilsons Road. Do 6 of these each week

b) 7th day assignments: With Sunday not recognised as a day of Lent, this allows a change of pace. On this blog (here, here, here, here, here, here) are six "7th day" assignments which are intended to provides a way to pause and to process your wilderness spirituality. The assignments are designed to suit different learning styles. They are designed to be done individually at a time suitable for you (and not necessarily on Sunday). Upon completion, they are designed to be shared - either digitally or physically - through the Lenten cross.

c) Lenten cross: We will set up a physical cross in our building at Opawa Baptist. (You could do the same in a place important to you). This website also serves as a digital Lenten cross. Share the results of your assignment by emailing us (spirit2go at gmail dot com) your words and photos and sound, and we will place them on the site here for others to appreciate. Then start on the next assignment.
