2nd Sunday of Lent 2026 (Online Holy Communion)
2026-03-01 09:00 - 2026-03-06 23:59 UTC
We are now in the season of Lent. It is a time for self-examination, penitence, self-denial, study, alms-giving, all in preparation for Easter. It lasts for forty days and forty nights reminding us of Jesus' time spent in the wilderness, being tested by Satan.

If through poor health or infirmity you are unable to attend a service in Church, you are warmly 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 Communion from the Vicarage.

The readings for today are Genesis 12:1-4a, Romans 4:1-5, 13-17, and John 3:1-17.

The hymns for today are, Father, hear the prayer we offer, and, Be thou my guardian and my guide.

A service booklet to accompany this weeks service is available to download below. Please email rector@stourvalley.org.uk for a copy.
