Prayer Meetings during Lent
Prayer Meetings - During Lent, we meet for prayer every Tuesday evening from 7:30 to 8:00pm in addition to our normal business meetings (PCC etc). Some of us are adding fasting to our prayers. This may take a number of forms: skipping a meal a week and donate the savings; choosing not to eat a favourite food, all of these emphasise to God that we are serious you in our prayers. We do our best not to mix dieting and fasting. We want God to be clear that our motive is to 'underline' our prayers, not to be lighter, trimmer and fitter.
40 Days of Purpose
 | 40 Days of Purpose - Our Lent Course is based around the book, "The Purpose Driven Life", which has been in the Top 10 Christian Books list for years. The book has 40 short chapters of about 7 pages each and we are reading a chapter a day from Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday.We will then look further into the chapter subjects in small groups. Finally, the Communion Service sermons relate to the book too. |
