The theme this year for our Circuit Video Services for Lent is God’s Promises. In this tough time, as we enter this Lenten Season of praying and self-reflection, we will lift our spirits by focusing on the many promises that God has made to us. Beginning with God’s covenant promise to Noah, we will trace the Biblical story through to Christ’s death and resurrection which ultimately fulfilled those promises. Details of the services and preachers are listed below.
We also have a Circuit Study group led by Rev. Diane Smith over Zoom on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. beginning Tuesday 16th February. Details of how to download the free study book and register for the class are here. If you are unable to participate in the class, you may still appreciate the reflections and artwork in this free book.
There is a Lent Prayer Calendar to colour as a Lenten Discipline. Download it and find more details here.
