Lent 2026: Fringe Dweller resource

Fringe Dweller

Reflections on Jesus’ encounters with people at the edges for Lent 2026

Starting on Ash Wednesday, 18 February, each weekly email features:

  • a reflection on one of Jesus’ encounters with people at the edges
  • a contemporary real-life story
  • a creative way to respond
  • specially-written prayers

Pop your details in the form below to receive our brand-new Lent reflections on Jesus’ encounters at the edges, followed by regular hope-filled updates from Church Mission Society.

The reflections are adapted from the newly published book Fringe Dweller by Jonny Baker, CMS Britain Hub Mission Director, and David Cotterill, a Pioneer working with people on the fringes in Deptford, South East London where he has planted a new expression of church. He is employed by the Salvation Army and trained with CMS.
