Lent starts today! During Lent, we are holding a group 5-6.30pm at The Rectory every Sunday for 5 weeks starting this Sunday 26th Feb. The group will be doing a Lectio Course which is a five session video series with Pete Greig and special guests exploring the ancient practice of Lectio Divina: learning how to hear God by praying the Bible. Please come and join us – everyone welcome!

It is a moving way to begin the Lent journey towards Easter. All welcome.

O Hush The Noise
Tonight, Friday 23rd at 7:30pm, we have our ‘O Hush The Noise’ service, a quiet service of contemplation, for anyone who would like to mark the coming of the Lord Jesus at Christmas, but without quite so much clamour. The imposed stresses of the festive period can be tough or overwhelming, but this is a chance to to sit and wonder at the true reason for the season without pressure. All welcome.
