Brothers and sisters in Christ: Since early days Christians have observed with great devotion the time of our Lord's passion and resurrection; and prepared for this by a season of penitence and fasting. By carefully keeping these days, Christians take to heart the call to repentance and the assurance of forgiveness proclaimed in the gospel and so grow in faith and devotion to our Lord. You are invited, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God's holy word.

in Lent
Christian Aid in Lent
Lent is an ideal time to pause, step back and raise our awareness of things we often take for granted. This year Count your blessings deals with the pressing issue of climate change as it affects those who are pushed to the brink of survival and whose livelihoods become even more precarious. There are copies of 'Count your blessings' at the back of the church. If they have all gone, you can download a copy. There is also a booklet for children to use.
