Lent Groups
During lent this year we will be taking a closer look at the Gospel of Mark, the Gospel set for this year. Throughout Lent and after Easter there will be different kinds of groups and events to join to really get to know this Gospel. What is distinctive about Mark? What is its relevance for today? We invite you to get involved and discover the riches of Mark’s Gospel.
Our book for Lent will be ‘Meeting God in Mark’ by Rowan Williams. Please speak to Reverend Trin or Mother Helen if you would like to know more.
