This Lent we will be holding weekly meetings for discussion, prayer, reflection and worship, based around the Church of England's Lent theme for 2025 - Living Hope. We are encouraged to put down deep roots of hope by connecting with God who is with us at all times. In Lent we journey with Jesus on the difficult and thorny road that leads all the way to the cross on Good Friday – and beyond, to the transformation of Easter Day.

Start of Lent: What is hope? – Exploring what hope means in the context of the Christian faith.

Week 1: Imperfect – Exploring how we hold on to hope in lives that are messy and a world that is imperfect.

Week 2: Together – Exploring the ways joining with others allows us to find hope ourselves and offer hope to those who need it.

Week 3: Trusting – Exploring what it means to trust in the hope God promises, even when we feel uncertain about the future.

Week 4: Noticing – Exploring how we can deepen our hope by noticing signs of what God is doing.

Week 5: Courage – Exploring how being rooted in hope can give us courage to face difficulties and seek change.

Week 6 – Holy Week: Transformed – Exploring how God can transform even the most broken situations.
