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.

We welcomed professional footballer Oscar Threlkeld to share his faith and also answer lots of questions from young (and old), about life as a footballer. At the time, Oscar was unsigned due to a cruciate ligament injury. The rehab was challenging but his dedication and discipline have paid off and Oscar is now signed and playing for Morecambe (Shrimps). We wish him well
