Lent lunch

Occurring
Every Thursday at for 1 hour
Venue
Christ Church, Carnforth
Address
Lancaster Road Carnforth, LA5 9LD, United Kingdom

Our Lent lunches are, open to all, there will be a time for prayer, worship, and reflection as we journey through the season of Lent. The lunches will focusing on the spiritual aspects of Lent as we prepare our hearts for Easter.

The lunch itself will consist of a simple but nourishing meal— soup and bread—served in the spirit of humility and simplicity that Lent encourages. It’s a reminder of the core values of Lent: reflection, self-denial, and community. There is something truly special about sitting down to share a simple meal together, offering us a time to pause and reflect on the Lenten season’s call to focus on the important things in life.

The act of gathering as a community, sharing food, and engaging in conversation deepens our connections with one another and with God. Lent is traditionally a time of self-examination, prayer, and renewal, and we hope that our Lenten Lunches will provide a space for you to experience these practices in a tangible way. Whether you’re giving something up for Lent or taking on something new to grow in your faith, these lunches are a perfect way to nurture both body and spirit. All we ask is for a small donation towards the work of the food bank, this can be either monitory or food.

Christ Church, Carnforth

God’s people at Christ Church are a family. A welcoming, warm, friendly, and supportive family.

We rejoice in our being a family made up of all ages, and enjoy a whole host of gatherings and events throughout the year. Two words which say much about Christ Church are: Warmth and JOY! Christ Church is a lively place, celebrating the Joy which we find in Jesus Christ, and the warmth that we find in one another.

The parish is extremely  fortunate in having its own Church Voluntary Aided Primary School which is just next door to the church, a distance which means children and staff can enjoy a walk to the church for services as well as the Parish priest, Fr Ryan, leading weekly acts of worship at the school.

The worshipping congregation at Christ Church is committed to serving God in this place and, in part, this happens through the events we hold and a genuine desire to invite others into the blessings we, ourselves, are receiving. You are very welcome.
