Lent

Ahh – no sooner does Christmas seem over, and we’re onto Lent – a chance to lose some weight put on over the festive season perhaps? Or a chance to dig a little deeper into what it all means?

This year we are offering two separate and different ways to consider the profound claims of our faith, and how they may translate into changed lives.

The Film ‘Chocolat’ has hidden depths, and during Lent (the period from Ash Wednesday Feb 22nd to Easter Sunday 8th April), we will be watching a part of the film each week and discussing how it echoes various parts of the Christian faith, and our walk with God. You may wish to consider giving up something other than chocolate this year!

We will also be offering a new course looking at the essentials of the Christian faith from the Gospel of mark. Called ‘Exploring Christianity’, it is based around a meal, and is a wonderful means of reminding us why we are Christians, or helping us to consider whether we wish to take the step of faith involved in becoming a follower of Jesus Christ.
