  7. Lenten Studies (Cantonese) stechurch.com/lent

    • The Cantonese Ministry will be providing selected articles in Cantonese for your devotional studies during the Lent season. There will be one article per week for a total of seven weeks. These articles are taken from “Spirituality through the Liturgical Seasons” of the Working Group for Discipleship Training of the Steering Committee of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Church Policy Paper. We would like to thank the Chairman, The Very Rev. Samson Fan for his kind permission to allow St. Elizabeth’s Church to use such articles. These articles will be sent through our “Love and Pandemic” network. As well, they will be uploaded to the St. E website. We encourage all, during this Lent season, to regularly meditate, pray and reflect on the questions set out at the end of these devotional articles.
