ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE, 7PM, WEDNESDAY 18TH FEBRUARY
We mark the beginning of our journey through Lent with this moving evening service, when we are marked with an ash cross on our forehead.  It is a night to remember the ways we have all failed to live in loving ways, and ask for God’s forgiveness.  Then, over the following weeks of Lent, we seek a deeper understanding of how God calls us to live.

LENT HOME GROUPS
In Lent, we are invited to pause and explore how our lives can be shaped more truly by our faith in Jesus Christ. We reflect Jesus’ own life and teachings, and how we are called to live as followers of Christ. In our Lent Home Groups this year, we explore the meaning and significance of “The Beatitudes”: the eight sayings of Christ in Matthew’s Gospel which form the heart of the Sermon on the Mount. Through Lent, the Home Groups meet weekly at the Vicarage:7.30pm on Tuesdays and 1.30pm on Wednesday. All are welcome to join in, as and when you can.

Our main weekly time together as a church community. In prayer and song, in the hearing of God's word and the sharing of the bread and wine around Christ's table, we gather to worship God and to be strengthened in our journey of faith. Junior Church is also held during this service.
