A time to start giving up something for Lent? Fasting is about giving up one thing in life out of love for God. Some give up one or more food items, but it doesn’t have to be about food.

The Bible contains stories of heroes who fought the good fight of the faith, and villains who opposed them. But there are many characters whose lives didn’t start well but still did great things for God. Others began full of promise and hope, but somewhere along the way they lost the vision, lost God, and their story didn’t end well.
All of us are a mixture of hero and villain. Part of us wants to follow God, but something within fails to match up to what He expects. The flaws within us are called sin, and we are all guilty. These are stories of a patient and gracious God. God’s outstretched arm holds us and embraces us.
The first study includes a Songs of Praise event, with Rev David Johnson speaking on Jacob. The others are led by Stephen or Tricia; all include time for discussion, refreshments, and finish by 9pm.

The story of Jesus' passion and death from the Bible.
each person will receive a palm cross to take home.

On the night before he died Jesus shared a meal with his friends, including bread and wine. Share in a meal at Thornton le Street Village Hall; bring food (sweet or savoury), as friends eating together. If you have time, stay for the service and the watch.
Come for whichever part of the evening you wish and leave whenever you wish.
6 pm Bring-and-share Meal in the village hall, sharing what each of us has brought
7 pm Holy Communion in Church, including food eaten at Passover. This is a chance to be as near as you can get to the first Holy Communion on the night before Jesus died.
8-9 pm Watch in the stillness of the church as if we were in the Garden of Gethsemane

Three hours at the cross. The service centres around the seven ‘words’ of Jesus from the cross, with a meditation on each, interspersed with hymns. Come and go as you wish during the service, or stay throughout. Hear the story, sing the hymns and pray the prayers from the seven ‘words’ of Jesus from the cross. Feel the depth and be amazed at what your Saviour has done.

Celebrate the Risen Christ in Holy Communion. We respond to ‘The Lord is risen’ with ‘He is risen indeed: Alleluia!’
