17th of February is Ash Wednesday, whilst by then we may have some of the churches open for worship we will endeavour to maintain weekly online services at least until Easter.

The lent book I encourage you to use over lent is ‘live lent: god’s Story, our Story’ Live Lent: God’s Story, Our Story (chpublishing.co.uk). I have a number of copies of these which I will distribute early in February.

we will also use the book as the basis of a lent course on zoom, on Thursday evenings and Tuesday afternoons if you are interested in joining it please let me know. If you are not sure about zooming and want to give it a go before committing yourself, please send me an email and I will set up a practise zoom so you can see what it’s like.

God bless.
