The season of Lent is
now on us and please take the opportunity to
read our March Bulletin which is available now
as a full colour
download or a
printed monochrome copy.
This year there will be a series of services on
Sunday Evenings at 6pm called Meditations on the
Cross. Artists paintings of the crucifixion will
be displayed with readings from the Bible and
appropriate poems and prose passages will be
read. These will help us enter into the
significance and meaning of the Stations of the
Cross and the Good Friday Liturgy between 2pm
and 3pm. The 14th March will see the celebration
of Mothering Sunday at which we have invited the
parents of children who have been baptized in
the last three years. This will be a joyful and
special occasion. This will replace the Family
Eucharist on 21st March. Whilst Lent can be seen
as a sombre season of reflection and repentance
it is also a time to do study and acts of prayer
to deepen our faith in Jesus our Lord and
Saviour.
I commend the
Lent
programme to you.
It is with great
sadness I record the passing of two stalwarts of
our church - John Hayward and our verger Ron
Thomas. May they rest in peace and rise in glory.
