Two resources for anyone to use for personal reflection and prayer during Lent, whenever the church is open:(1) Stations from our Ash Wednesday service, for reflection and self examination. These remain available for the first few weeks of Lent.(2) The Way of the Cross. A series of stations of the cross featuring the striking artwork of Nicholas Markell, depicting biblical scenes of Jesus' betrayal, trial, suffering, crucifixion and then resurrection. A booklet with short readings, prayers and reflections is available to guide you round the stations.
