Save Tuesday evenings in Lent, from 24 February - 24 March, from 7.30pm for our Lent course: Treasures of Darkness, offered by the Diocese of London.

We will join the Diocese online from 7.30-8.30pm and then have time for discussion, in response to the talk, until 9pm. It will be preceded by a said Eucharist at 6.45pm. Hosted by our Bishops with Lent reflections from guest speakers, we are invited to explore the journey of discipleship amid uncertainty, mystery, and unknowing. Drawing on lived experience and the wisdom of disability and suffering theologies, we will reflect on what it means to follow Christ - not in spite of life’s struggles, but as we encounter God’s grace and guidance within them.
