St Aldhelm's, Edmonton

It is the second Sunday in Lent and Mother Anna asks us to lament, to make sacrifices and to be generous.

Our first Sunday in Lent finds us in the wilderness. A place of hardship and challenge - but will it also be a place where we find God?

Today Mother Anna reminds us of the many times in the Bible when people encounter God on a mountain and asks us to think about how we might encounter God this Lent.

It might feel like life is on hold at the moment, and it certainly feels like the days are dragging, but the year is already racing by - in just 10 days we start Lent. This year we will be reading the whole of the Gospel of Mark together at home.
