Lenten Course

for 29 days, 23 hours, 15 mins
St James
Church Hill West End Southampton, SO30 3AT, United Kingdom

Lent is traditionally a time for reflection, prayer and study as we prepare for Holy Week and Easter.  This year there will be two discussion groups running during the season, both meeting for five sessions.  We will be reading ‘Wild, Bright Hope’  The Big Church Read for 2025 and using some of the chapters for our discussions.  Please pop the dates in your diary and join us for one of the groups as we pray and discuss and reflect on our faith.  Both groups will meet in church.  There is a sign up sheet in church for you to say which group you would like to join and to order the book, which will cost £10.25. Please do so by the 23rd February at the latest.  Tuesday mornings 10am to 11.30am starting Tuesday 11th March with the last session on Tuesday 8th April.  Wednesday evenings 7pm to 8.30pm starting Wednesday 12th March with the last session of Wednesday 9th April.
