Beginning on Ash Wednesday, Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. Lent is marked by fasting, both from food and festivities.

Destination Unknown

with Revd Gary Gotham

Do you yearn to go back to how things were pre-Covid? I wouldn't blame you if you did - I do.

But we-re not there yet and we may never be. History has a habit of moving forwards, rather than retreating backwards. God is with us while we struggle with our 'destination unknown'.

Bible reading - Mark 8: 31-38

Be-Loved

with Revd Gary Gotham

Bible reading - Mark 1: 9-15

Have you ever felt the pressure of expectations? It might be from family or friends.

It might be self-imposed. Today, together, may we be released from a little of that.

The Transfiguration of Valentine

with Revd Gary Gotham

Have you ever tried to describe the indescribable to someone who just doesn't GET what you're on about - like the joy of being head over heels in love, a new hobby, a passion, a book, a place you visited (pre-Covid), a piece of music, or a road you love driving?

Bible reading - Mark 9: 2-9

'How to find Hope, Health & Restoration'

This week we have a guest preacher

In a week when we have lost Captain Sir Tom Moore and there has been continued controversy around vaccines, we hear a Bible story in which Jesus restores health to many - offering hope and health.

God, in Jesus, offers us restoration - in our disease and our dis-ease. Do I exude hope? Do you? have you experienced the difference it makes? What areas of our lives would welcome restoration and renewal?

Bible reading - Mark 1 : 29-39
