LENT LUNCHES
Once again this year Bearsted Area Churches Together are organising Lent Lunches, which, as is our custom, will move round the various local churches.
The talks at this year’s lunches are inspired by the book ‘The Things He Carried: A Journey to the Cross’ by Stephen Cottrell.
The programme is as follows, with all lunches starting at 12.15pm: PLEASE TRY NOT TO ARRIVE BEFORE 12 NOON.
14 March – ‘The Cross’ at St Mary’s, Thurnham
21 March – ‘The Crown of Thorns’ at the Methodist Church
28 March – ‘The Seamless Robe’ at Holy Cross
4 April – ‘Disappointment’ at St Mary’s, Langley
11 April – ‘Our Sorrows’ at St Peter’s
All are welcome to join us as we journey together through Lent towards our Lord’s Passion and Resurrection
Bible Study Groups
We meet on Wednesday evenings to study God’s Word together, to share insights an experience, to enjoy each others’ company (and sometimes eat cake!)
Ask at church for more details.
