Welcome to our service for the first Sunday in Lent. Over the next 40 days, the church reflects on and prepares for the celebrations of Easter. This is a season of prayer, generosity and repentance. As we follow the example of Jesus who fasted for 40 days in the wilderness, we try and live more simply, frugally and attentively so we might become more aware of God.
Our service is led by our Community Organiser and Church Planter Charnelle Barclay, and our preacher today is Natalie Burwell. Laura Elgie and Fiona Lundie-Smith bring our scripture readings, and Dr Christine Checinska leads our prayers and intercessions. With music from Jonathan and Helen Rathbone, we pray this service will help you enter into this season with new hope and vision.
