LENT

We will soon be entering the season of Lent, a time when many Christians spend time in prayer, in reading the Scriptures and reflecting on God’s love in order to become closer to him. We believe that Jesus died for our sins and gave us the promise of eternal life.

Just as the darkness of winter is followed by the freshness of spring, so the darkness of Lent is followed by the glorious light of salvation when Christ rose from the dead, celebrated at Easter.

I would like to invite you to begin this journey. Lent invites us to reflect, to change, and to be reconciled with God and with one another. On 18 February, we will begin this precious period in the Church calendar, and we hope to work together to make the places where we live more joyful and welcoming.

So let go of the past, embrace the new and look forward to what can be. Believe that he has amazing things in store for you. Go forward in hope!

We mark the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday (18 February) with traditional Ashing services: 12 noon at St John the Baptist, Holywell-cum-Needingworth and 7 pm at St Mary’s, Bluntisham-cum-Earith.
