LENT IS COMING – why not join a Lent Group?

On Ash Wednesday, 18th February, Lent starts. It’s a good time for considering our faith, for a journey of discovery. This year we’ve chosen a course called You Can Be Serious! Meeting Jesus afresh in John’s Gospel, by Bishop David Wilbourne.

Whatever our church denomination, we all use the same Sunday Gospel from the Revised Common Lectionary. During the first five Sundays of Lent 2026, four of the Gospel readings are from John. By basing each of the five sessions in this course on the previous Sunday’s Gospel, David Wilbourne provides a connection to the preaching and teaching that has just taken place in our Churches.

The course booklet is accompanied by a lively CD, in which David Wilbourne and guests from various denominational backgrounds put forward their thoughts on the themes of the course.

Here at All Saints’ you are welcome to join the group which Rosemary Whipp will lead on Monday mornings, or the one which Donna Taylor has agreed to lead, on a day and at a time to be decided. If there’s enough demand we might run a third group, perhaps on a Thursday. If you’re interested please sign up on the list which will be on the church table from 4th January onwards. We really hope that people from the other Churches of the B5 will join us too.
