A Lenten Series of evening reflections.
This Thursday—26 March in the church at St Stephens.
This reflection could be done at home (if you are unable to attend). A flyer is available with this week’s theme and some ideas to ‘spark your journey’. You can tailor the session as you wish: as long as you want (perhaps 30-60 minutes), and make it special for you e.g. lighting a candle at the start. It would be helpful to have a journal, a pen, a quiet place and your favourite Bible.
Ask Catherine if you would like more details.
