Lent 2023Lent is an opportunity for us as a Christian Community to reflect, pray, fast, give alms and generally to reassess our faith in Jesus Christ as we prepare to enter the mysteries of Holy Week and joys of Easter.

Community Art Project
During Lent we, together with our friends from The Church of Holy Trinity NYC, shall be looking and commenting on a picture each week specially chosen by Marc Woodhead from the National Gallery. You will be invited to make comments or observations online, as well as in church about each picture. We hope to collect these and have a discussion in a ‘Slow Art’ session, led by Marc, in Eastertide. We hope that all of you will join us, contribute and follow along by following our Weekly Devotions. Our first painting will be available from Ash Wednesday, and each of the Wednesdays during Lent. Sunday Preachers
Each Sunday during Lent we will interview a member of the congregation at both morning and evening services. Join us as we learn more about the wonderful people in our community. 26th February
