Lent 2024

The Church of England’s Lent theme for 2024 is

Watch and Pray: Wisdom and hope for Lent and life.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of our Lenten journey as a United Benefice in 2024. There will be a Sung Benefice Eucharist at 7.30pm, including the imposition of Ashes, for the start of this Penitential Season, and some beautiful, reflective music.

For more details of our Lent Programme please see below.
