Lent is the period of 40 days which comes before Easter in the Christian calendar (Lent this year is from 6th March to 18th April 2019) Beginning on Ash Wednesday, Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. For our Lenten studies this year will we be making an in-depth study of the Sermon on the mount. Be sure to join in.

This Lent, starting from the 1st of March for 7 Sundays until Easter we will be looking at Jesus’ journey to the cross. We will listen in on the words he spoke to people who met him on the way and examine ourselves in the light of those words. We will study his miracles and dive deeply into what these miracles mean, and finally, we will look to see our reflection in those who encountered him – the lame, the blind, the rich, the poor, the doubters and the full of faith. Please join us on this remarkable journey as we walk alongside Jesus to Jerusalem, then to Calvary.

Maundy Thursday remembers the lessons from the Passover (Pesach) meal Jesus Christ had with his disciples. This year’s Passover Thursday will take the form of a Christian Seder meal (part demonstrated) using readings from the Haggadah, but recognising Christ as the light of the world and the sacrificial lamb of God.

On Good Friday we remember the death and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. This year we will be using the Tenebrae format – a service of light and darkness accompanied by Bible readings, Hymns and Taize music. All are welcome.

On Easter morning the impossible happened. Jesus Christ rose from the dead to the astonishment and joy of his followers. His resurrection, as he promised, gives us hope. Death is defeated, eternal life is ours. Join us this Easter Sunday to hear more of the good news of Jesus Christ!
