This Lent we are encouraged to put down deep roots of hope by connecting with God who is with us at all times.
The Church of England’s Lent theme for 2025 is Living Hope.
In Lent we journey with Jesus on the difficult and thorny road that leads all the way to the cross on Good Friday – and beyond, to the transformation of Easter Day.
God invites us to bring to him our own journey through everyday life. In the disappointment of daily setbacks and the pain of deeper hurts, we discover that God is present with us. And God promises a future where all things are healed and made new.
Living Hope offers us the opportunity to deepen our hope in God and be part of what God is doing to bring hope in the world.

For various reasons, from August, the Open the Book Team will no longer be affiliated to Open the Book organised by The Bible Society, and will therefore now be known as Open the Bible. We will continue to go into schools to take assemblies but being independent of Open The Book will allow us to be more creative with our assembly format.
