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.

Today we remember Mary and Joseph taking Jesus to the Temple and Mother Anna is thinking about churches as a place where we encounter God. What does St Aldhelm's mean to you?
