In your own time

If you are not able to join us on Thursdays or Fridays, or would just like to follow the materials at home, please email Claire.


On Sundays

At our 10:30am Sunday services in both churches during Lent (beginning on 22 February), we will be following a special lectionary series following the themes of each week’s materials.

Following each service, we will share Bishop Steven’s own reflections on these lectionary readings here on this website.


Is there someone you could invite to come and see this Lent?
