Lent at St Wilfrid’s Church – February 2024
What is Lent?
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and is a time when Christians reflect and prepare for the celebrations of Easter. Some people eat frugally or give up treats following the example of Jesus, who fasted for forty days in the wilderness. Others give to charity, set aside time to study the Bible and meet with other Christians to reflect on Jesus’ life.
Lent Lunches
St Wilfrid’s will be holding Lent Lunches at the Church Hall at 12 noon on the following Thursdays: February 22 and 29, March 14 and 21. We offer a simple meal of soup with a bread roll followed by tea or coffee. So why not join us for friendly conversation, reflection, prayer and readings in fellowship with others?
Donations are welcome and will be given to charity. No need to book, just come along.
