This year, our Lent Devotional booklet ‘Journey to Freedom’ will walk us through Exodus. Bishop Philip writes in the preface: “Has a greater story ever been told? Exodus has all the ingredients. A flawed hero in Moses. An arch-baddie in Pharaoh. The appalling injustice of slavery. The vivid horrors of the plagues. The jeopardy of a last minute escape. The hyper-real psychodrama of the wilderness. The promise of a glorious freedom. What more could you want? Well there’s much more!Booklets will be available in church on Ash Wednesday and Sunday 18th February
On Candlemas it is a tradition for Christians to bring their candles to their local church, where they are blessed and then used for the rest of the year. These blessed candles serve as a symbol of Jesus Christ, who is the Light of the World. If you are attending church, you are invited to bring one candle from your home, perhaps the one you use for private prayer, and it will be blessed. As you leave church today, you will be given a lighted candle, a symbol, taking the Light and Love of Jesus Christ with you and to others.
There will be a 5 week Lent course ‘Journey to Freedom’ along with Lent Devotional readings. Both will focus on the book of Exodus. Full details of our Lent programme, and church services will be published early February.
We shared lovely memories of Christmas Past and ate Christmas Cake! Do join us on Tuesday 20th February at 1.30pm (third Tuesday of every month). All welcome. For more pictures click the link.
