READINGS

6th March

Fourth Sunday of Lent      1 Sam. 1. 20-28

Mothering Sunday            Col. 3.12-17

                                      John 19. 25-27

Thanking God for our earthly opportunities for mothering and being mothered, we also remember the mothering parenthood of God.

 

13th March                

Fifth Sunday of Lent        Ezek. 37. 1-14          

                                      Rom. 8. 6-11

                                      John 11. 1-45

Jesus is the resurrection and the life. He can transform death and despair, in any form, into life and hope.

 

20th March                 Matt. 26.-27. 54       

Palm Sunday

Jesus rides into Jerusalem cheered by the crowds. Days later crowds will be clamouring for his death.

 

27th March                

Easter day                   Acts 10. 34-43

                                 Col. 3. 1-4

It is true. Jesus is alive for all time. The Lord of life cannot be held by death. God's victory over sin and death means that new life for us is a reality.

Lent Course

Was the road that led Jesus to the cross joyfully embraced or stoically endured?

Does his journey have anything to say about the struggle we also face to do God’s will?

If you want to explore how we can follow in Jesus’ footsteps, committing ourselves to God’s will for us, coping with temptation and emotional turmoil, and staying the course through the hardest times to a remarkable outcome, come along and join one of the Lent groups.
