LENT 2018
Shrove Tuesday is on February 13th, Easter is April 1st. If we follow our tried and tested pattern we’ll hold two
studies each week (currently on Monday and Wednesday- does that work, or does anyone want to suggest another
pattern?).
We’ll be starting Lent Study course in the week commencing February 19th. My suggestion is that we use the
downloadable course from Churches Together in Britain and Ireland.
The stories within the course and book give a unique insight into prison life and point to the hope we can find as
followers of Jesus.
The group studies provide the whole Church – inside and outside prison – with the opportunity to walk with
Jesus through Lent, learning from Mark’s Gospel and from the lessons prisoners, ex-prisoners and chaplains
have learned.
Whether we take this spiritual journey through Lent, alone or in company, there is much to draw on to refresh
and encourage our faith.
Thanks
Elizabeth
