Dear Elstow Team of Churches,

This week in my Celtic Lenten reading has focused on a Celtic religious community. The Community of Aidan and Hilda is a body of Christians who wish to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, and to express this in a distinctive way that draws inspiration from the lives of Saint Aidan and Saint Hilda amongst other Celtic saints. Members of the Community share the belief that God is once again calling us to the quality of life and commitment that was revealed in the lives of these Christians whose witness was so effective in the newAnglo-Saxon world of the time.  The Community has 200+ members dispersed around the UK (and abroad) with the majority being members of different Christian churches.

The Community emphasises the importance of a rhythm of prayer life. Strengthening our rhythms of prayer will help us pray continually rather than see it as just a one-time event in our day. Intentionally praying throughout the day can help us not get caught up in the busyness of life without spending time with the Lord.
