Lenten Journey Around the Churchyard: The number of prayer stations is growing each week, creating an ever longer meditative journey around the churchyard. Do come down and spend some time contemplating the words and images displayed. If you have a QR code reader on your phone you can also listen to words and music.

Lent Meditations: The weekly prayer and bible study groups continue, by Zoom, using meditations written by Canon Professor Anthony Thiselton. There is a group meeting on Tuesday evenings and another on Wednesday evenings.

The Church Army A mission focused community who are committed to enabling and resourcing the church and its members to share the gospel. They deliver a mission of evangelism through their centres of mission, evangelists, training programmes, outreach programmes and partnerships. They work in some of the most deprived communities in the UK and Ireland and work with children, teenagers, the elderly, the homeless, the lonely, those experiencing self-harm, those at risk of gang or knife crime, the unemployed and those struggling to make ends meet.
Their vision is for everyone, everywhere to encounter God’s love and be empowered to transform their communities through faith shared in words and action.

A prayer for the week:
God of compassion, whose Son Jesus Christ, the child of Mary, shared the life of a home in Nazareth, and on the cross drew the whole human family to himself: strengthen us in our daily living that in joy and in sorrow we may know the power of your presence to bind together and to heal; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
