We’re having a congregational Lent group this year and so our readings are from a resource called ‘Preparing the Way for Jesus’ which is based on the life of John the Baptist. Each week there will be some discussion questions which we hope will help everyone engage in personal spiritual growth and discipleship.

On Mondays during lent we are holding Stations Of The Cross as detailed in the poster below.

The poster below details the Services during Holy Week.
