Prayer for the Parish: this will be incorporated into the evening session of the Lent course (see below for details).

Lent Course: The Lord’s Prayer – praying it, meaning it, living

Jesus gave us the Lord’s prayer in response to a request from his disciples “Teach us to pray” (Luke 11.1).  The prayer gives us a pattern for living as Jesus’ disciples as well as a pattern for praying. Our Lent course uses the Lord’s Prayer to help us reflect on our prayer life and how it live out what we pray. There are still two sessions left: As we forgive and In heaven. You are welcome to join in the final seesions

Mondays 2.00-3.30pm at 3 Lampton Close
