LENT 2022

Lent starts on Wednesday 2nd March. You might wish to join our Lent Course, or follow the Church of England's #LiveLent programme.


Lent Course 2022

This year we are joining our neighbours for the Deanery Lent Course, which is called "What's the Story?". The course starts on Wednesday 9th March and meets once a week for five weeks, following five parables from the gospel of Luke to see how these stories speak into the stories of our own lives today.

There will be sessions available in person and online (via Zoom), and there will be sessions in both in the afternoon and evening, so as many people can partake as possible.

If you would like to express an interest in this course (with no commitment), please sign up below.


Live Lent: Embracing Justice is the Church of England's theme for Lent 2022. It invites us to examine our own lives truthfully, to see the world more deeply and to pray - for the church and the world far and near - that 'justice may roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream' (Amos 4.24).



For each day of Lent, there is a daily Bible reading, a short reflection and a prayer, as well as a practical challenge. Each week follows a different thread through the many stories of justice in the Bible to explore how God works with humanity to bring justice, wholeness and salvation to all.

The booklet costs £1.99 (Kids £1.50) and is available to buy online below.

Crucifer and Server

As part of returning to our pre-Covid worshipping practice, we are looking to bring back our crucifer (who carries the cross) and server (who helps to prepare the altar). Would you be interested in sharing in this ministry? These roles have usually been undertaken together by one person, but that need not be the case. If you would like to volunteer, or know more about what would be involved, speak to a member of the staff team or a warden.


 

Living in Love and Faith

LLF continues this week with session 2 on Identity. Don't worry if you couldn't make it last week, you are still welcome to attend. If you have any queries, contact Nicola . The accompanying booklet can be found below.

 

Home Communion

It is permitted to distribute Holy Communion at home to the sick and the housebound. If you are in need of this ministry, please contact the office, a member of clergy, or a pastoral contact. A small number of lay people are licensed to distribute Holy Communion at home. If you are interested in joining this team, get in touch!

 

100 Club

Congratulations to all the February winners from our 100 club:

  • £50 Malcolm Macdonald

  • £30 Alan Wolf

  • £20 Julia Jones (claimed on behalf of the late Sylvia McDougle RIP)
