Ash Wednesday 14th February
Ash Wednesday derives its name from the marking in ashes of a cross on a person’s forehead, signifying their turning from the wrong things in life (sin) and turning to Christ. It is also a reminder, if needed, about our mortality as the priest uses the words ‘Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ.’ The ashes used are made from the burnt remains of last year’s palm crosses used on Palm Sunday.
Lent for Christians is a time for preparing for Easter as we recall the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness.
Historically this would mean going without luxuries and hence the using up of ingredients on Shrove Tuesday. Today some people still give up certain foods or activities as Lenten discipline. If you want to try this why not give the money saved to charity.
The middle of Lent is marked by Mothering Sunday which this year is on 11th March, which gives an excuse to have a celebration.
Have a Good Lent Simon
Lent Bible Study- “The Bible”
Our new Lent Bible study begins week commencing 11th February for six weeks, we will be looking at the Bible as a whole as it is one of the most influential books in the world. We will be holding meetings in our villages, at
various times and days of the week to suit as many diaries as possible. Could a group of people meet at your house at a time to suit you? Give me a ring for more details. Why not come along and join the discussions and share your experiences and maybe learn something new along the way. Details of venues and time will be
published in the churches and in the Pews News.
If you would like to receive more details then just email me or Astwick.vale@gmail.com and we will keep you
updated. Rev Simon 01869 810903
