Lent Course - 'Mirroring God's Love'
We are now entering the Season of Lent that is about preparation to face Christ's Passion Week in April. For this there will be Sunday moring homilies and wednesday night explorations using a saint each week by way of illustration on the theme of Mirroring God's Love. Both Gareth and Ian will be contributing to this programme.

The Oscar winning film by Gabriel Axel is a beautiful portrayal of the lavish generosity of God.

An enchanting and humorous drama that basically asks What does it mean to live a 'good' life?

A devition following the road to Calvary with the Situations of the Cross in St Matthew;s Church carved by the school of Eric Gill. Short meditations and prayers at each scene help prepare us for the celebration of the Easter mystery.
