It has been a tradition at St Paul’s to use the trunk of the Christmas tree to create the Lenten Cross which is used during our Lent services in Church. This year because of the COVID restrictions on the use of the Church we have put the Lenten Cross outside the Church so it can be seen by passers by to remind them that we are still functioning. The photo below was taken during the live streamed service on the first Sunday of Lent.

Each Sunday a further symbol of Lent will be added to the Cross and an explanation of the symbol will be displayed below it.

If you are passing please take a rose and a card.
