This year’s Lent theme is ‘Fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God’. Download our Lent leaflet here.

The season begins with 2 services on Ash Wednesday, 22 February, to mark the beginning of Lent. We’ll have a 1.00 pm and 7.00 pm service. These services will include the offering of ashes, the ancient sign of our humanity and mortality.
