Time for Lent

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday this Wednesday 25th February. It is time for that spiritual spring cleaning!

The Ash Wednesday Eucharist with the ancient rite of penitence will be held 19:00 . Last year's palm crosses are burned and the ash used to mark the forehead, as a sign of sorrow for our sins, which led Jesus to the Cross. Do join the service if you can, even if you have not attended before.

A period of self-denial and reflection experienced as a community features in all religions for a good reason. It helps us develop as human beings and grow spiritually. So what not give it a go? There is a chance to ponder some issues together as a community following a four part Lent Course starting 14th March. See flyer.
