Walking Through Lent
For our ‘Walking through Lent’ Messy Church in February we explored what happens on Ash Wednesday and why people are marked with an Ash Cross, and why people give things up for Lent. We talked about how we might change from our bad habits and take on new ones by fasting on, for example greed, and feasting on sharing with others.
We heard the story when Jesus was tempted by the devil in the desert and how we, too, can get courage to say ‘NO’ through following Jesus’ example through prayer and listening to God’s word.
Our March Messy Church will be on Sunday 17th March 3pm – 4.30pm when we will continue our walk through Lent and be thinking about the events of Holy Week. Why not come along and join us…and don’t forget there’s always cake…and quite possibly chocolate!
