Lent & Easter

Lent and Easter

Christmas may just have ended with Epiphany but a week ago, yet already thoughts will turn towards Lent and then Easter.

Lent begins in a month's time, on Wednesday, February 18th, and runs until Thursday, April 2nd. Our discussions, at a strategic level, are currently focusing on Small Group Discipleship and Lent offers us the perfect opportunity to meet in Fellowship Groups to explore a theme or study. This year, the Circuit will be offering resources for groups to explore together over the six weeks.

If you are a Housegroup leader and would like to receive the Lent material, please contact the Circuit Office.
If you are not in a Housegroup, but would like to join one locally, again, please let the Office know and we can put you in touch with the relevant leaders.

We then enter Holy Week on Sunday, March 29th, as we prepare for Easter Sunday on April 5th. For many churches, we have established patterns of reflecting on the events of the week, be that through a Mon-Fri rhythm, or coming together for Maundy Thursday or a Good Friday service.

This year, as a Circuit, we would love to offer an opportunity to come together as the disciples of Christ and work through this Holy Week.

If your church would like to offer the space for a reflective evening service, please contact the Circuit Office so a program of events can be established. In the event we have more than one offer, particularly towards the end of the week, it may be possible to offer multiple venues for geographical ease.

God bless,

Rev Mark Carrick
Circuit Superintendent Minister
