We invite you to journey with us this lent, take time to slow down and draw nearer to God through three simple rhythms: Pray, Fast, Give

Lent is 40 days long and is one of the most significant times of the year for many Christians around the world. Just as we prepare for events in our individual lives, such as weddings or birthdays, participating in Lent invites us to pause, breathe and make space for God.

It’s about letting go of what weighs us down and being open to what lifts us up. The benefits last longer than lent, why not follow along & see what a difference it makes to your life. We invite you to start with prayer, start small, choose a time that suits you: it could be after you have dropped children at school, before going into work etc. If you are new to prayer, start by picking 5 people (family or friends) and ask for God’s blessing on them one by one. 

As you start your Lenten season please know that the church is open daily for prayer, a place to sit in peace and tranquility, or to light a candle. We wish you every blessing and look forward to welcoming you to St Mary's soon.
