Churches Together in Kings Langley

As we continue our journey with Christian Aid’s Lent materials, we are invited to pause with the parable of the Good Samaritan. Jesus challenges us to notice the places where compassion crosses boundaries, where mercy overrides fear, and where love refuses to be limited by tribe or comfort. We reflect on the moments when others have come alongside us in our own need, and we ask where God may be calling us to step across divides to offer support to neighbours near and far.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, open our eyes to those who are hurting, overlooked, or in need—both close to home and across the world. Soften our hearts with generosity and kindness. Give us courage to dismantle the barriers that keep us apart, and to walk the costly road of compassion you set before us. Amen.
