Lent

The book we are following in our Lent meetings (see Parish Diary) is the Archbishop of Canterbury's book Love Unknown by Ruth Burrows.

A Lenten journey to discover how God is revealed through our personal lives, experiences of weakness and failure, through history and the natural world, through the Scriptures, and in the face of Jesus.
