Lent Book Club 2024

Every Monday at for 2 hours
St Peters Coveney
Main Street Coveney Ely, CB6 2DL, United Kingdom

Following on from last year’s successful Lent Book Club, this year we’ll be getting stuck into Jane Austen! What has Jane Austen got to do with Lent, you may ask? Well quite a lot as it turns out. Our book will be Rachael Mann’s book ‘A truth universally acknowledged: 40 days with Jane Austen’.

Please message us via this page if you would like to come along so we can get an idea of the number of books we need to order.
You don’t have to commit to every session!

‘Jane Austen had a rarely-matched insight into human character. Like Lent itself, she exposes frailty, caprice and pomposity without losing a profound and compassionate understanding of human nature. Her life was profoundly shaped by Christian spirituality, making her writings an ideal accompaniment for the 40 days of Lent. ‘

St Peters Coveney

All are welcome at St Peters. Our regular services are on the 2nd and 4th Sundays. On the 2nd Sunday there is a 10am Service of the Word, and on the 4th Sunday we have Communion at 9:15 (Order 1 in Traditional Language) and a service of the Word at 10am. There is always tea, coffee, cakes and lots of friendly conversation after each service. 

We also try to hold a range of other services and events, including some outdoor 'Forest Church' type services and other activities that speak to a range of backgrounds and Church-going experience.

Our Mission is to be God's disciples here in Coveney, showing the Light of Christ in our daily lives, our conversations, our support for each other and the wider community. We hope that people of all faiths and beliefs might come to find comfort in this centuries old building.
