During lent, our homegroups will be using the Church of England’s reflection booklet Living Hope. You can download the app or buy the booklet from Sarah for £2. There is also a booklet for children.The readings and reflections explore how we can have hope in times of frustration or uncertainty; the hope found in joining with others; the invitation to notice signs of hope around us; the courage to face reality and pursue a hopeful future; and the ways God transforms death into life at Easter. The groups are on Mondays 10.30am and on Wednesdays 2pm in the Paddocks, Milton under Wychwood they run for 5 weeks starting 10 March. In addition to the usual groups, Sarah and Karen are offering a Monday evening in the Benefice Centre at 7.30pm if required. Please let us know if you would like it but cannot make the first one on Monday 10 March. Lent lunches will be held at the Paddocks. This will be a soup and a roll lunch for £5.50. These will be at 12pm on Mondays (following the 10.30am Lent Group) and on Wednesdays at 1pm (before the Lent Group, which meets at 2pm). Everyone is welcome to join the lent groups and/or lunches. Please note the first Lent Lunch is on Wednesday 12 March.
