This Lent we are trying out a Lent course with a difference! Rather than meeting together in person each week I will be running a course where we can meet together without even leaving our own sofas! This Lent group, following the book Dust and Glory by David Runcorn, will take place online and there we will share thoughts and discuss all that we are reading as we journey through Lent together.
Why online? Well perhaps getting out of an evening after work isn’t a straightforward task for you. Perhaps you have children and finding a weekly babysitter isn’t practical. Or perhaps you struggle to get out and about physically. Or perhaps you simply want to dip your toe in the water and join along with a group of people thinking about the themes of Lent without the pressure of turning up in person to a new and unfamiliar place? Even though you don’t have to leave home to be part of it, this course will take us all on a journey. Did you know that the word ‘Lent’ derives from and ancient word meaning ‘spring’ or ‘long’ referring to the time of year when we are turning from winter cold and dark to the warmth and new life of spring? Through the course this is the journey that we will be taking too. The short daily reflections from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day range across the whole business of living and believing, where the questions are as important as the answers. We start this group on Ash Wednesday, the 26th February, but you are welcome to join us if you are reading this after that date and to join in our discussions in our Facebook Group. This group is open to absolutely everyone whether you regularly come to church or you’ve never been at all! If you would like to join all you need to do is buy a copy of Dust and Glory by David Runcorn and search for our group ‘Dust and Glory Lent Group’ on Facebook. I hope to see you there!
