Last Sunday

We continued our sermon series looking at the book of Philippians on Sunday, in conjunction with the Discipleship Explored courses. Remember, what the chocolate cake represented – that we are all part of the Body of Christ! If you would like to make a chocolate cake, here is the recipe – though possibly not such a good idea at the start of Lent this week!! Chocolate Cake

Ash Wednesday

It is Ash Wednesday this week – the start of Lent. We have a service of Holy Communion at 7.30 pm. All welcome to this.

Lent Adventure

In Lent there is another exciting opportunity to set aside some time each day for one week, in order to deepen your relationship with God. Lent Adventure starts on 27 February. These are guided sessions, very gentle and people who have done this before say how blessed they have been. Details and sign-up here: Lent Adventure
