DESCRIPTION:Our Lenten journey continues.  Lent is a time for self-examina
 tion\, penitence\, self-denial\, study\, alms-giving\, all in preparation 
 for Easter.  It lasts for forty days and forty nights reminding us of Jesu
 s' time spent in the wilderness\, being tested by Satan.\n\nThe Fourth Sun
 day of Lent (Laetare or Refreshment Sunday) was allowed as a day of relief
  from the rigour of Lent\, and is the background to the modern observance 
 of Mothering Sunday. This easing of the Lenten fasting for Laetare Sunday 
 was marked by its use of Rose coloured vestments.\n\nIf through poor healt
 h or infirmity you are unable to attend a service in Church\, you are warm
 ly invited to join in with our Rector\, The Revd Mark Woodrow\, in an act 
 of Spiritual Communion from your own home\, as he celebrates Holy Communio
 n from the Vicarage.\n\nThe readings for today are Exodus 2:1-10\,  Coloss
 ians 3:12-17\, and Luke 2:33-35.\n\nThe hymns for today are\, Tell out\, m
 y soul\, and\, For Mary\, Mother of our Lord.\n\nA service booklet to acco
 mpany this weeks service is available.  Please email rector@stourvalley.or
 g.uk for a copy.
