Lent is a special time in the Christian Year when people get ready for Easter.

for 46 days, 2 hours

Lent is a special time in the Christian Year when people get ready for Easter. It lasts for 40 days - not counting Sundays - and begins on Ash Wednesday, the 18th February. This season reminds Christians of the time Jesus spent in the wilderness, praying and preparing for his ministry.
During Lent, many people choose to give up something they enjoy, like sweets or screen time. Perhaps they try to do something kind, such as helping others. Some people read the Bible more, join church activities, or give to charity as a way of showing love and care. This is because Lent is a season of reflection, self‑discipline, and learning to be more like Jesus.
Lent is a time to think about how we can grow to be more like the people God made us to be. Just as spring brings new life to the world, Lent helps Christians prepare for the joy of Easter - the celebration of Jesus rising again and bringing forgiveness and new beginnings to us.
Lent can feel serious, but it is full of hope. Lent reminds us that everyone can make a fresh start, and that acts of kindness and thoughtfulness can make a big difference. By the time Easter arrives, we can be ready to celebrate the new life and love that Jesus brings.

Our Palm Sunday Praise Together Service in St. James the Great, Salt, on 29th March.

for 15 days
St James the Great, Salt, part of the Mid-Trent Churches Team
Salt Road Salt Stafford, ST18 0BW, United Kingdom

On Palm Sunday we remembered the time when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.
Well, we couldn't get a real donkey for our Team Service in Salt this year, but Salt Art Group offered to make us a donkey to be part of our celebrations.
Under Sue Chatterton's supervision, each member of her class was given a postcard size piece of paper and image.
The instruction was to copy the image onto the card.
When all placed together they formed 'Patches'.
Visitors to St, James' can still see how Patches welcomed the Palm Sunday procession into Salt Church.
