Sycamore Lent course
Are you thinking about how you can celebrate Lent as a community in lockdown? Searching for remote resources that really bring people together? The Sycamore resources can be used for faith formation groups and stand-alone courses for Lent and the other liturgical seasons. They can be run in both physical and remote groups. They are completely free to use.
Each Sycamore session includes professionally produced videos, testimonies, discussion questions, and online follow-up resources. The films are presented by Fr Stephen Wang, a priest in the Diocese of Westminster, and are filmed on location in the UK.

Running a parish group doesn't have to be complicated. You can plan a remote Lent group for your parish very easily. Just get a couple of people to help you; decide when you want to run the course; publicise it via your parish social media and word of mouth; share the link or the registration details; and see who turns up. As long as you know how to use breakout rooms (remote small groups) it doesn't matter whether you have three or thirty people coming.
