Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Ash Wednesday: We will mark the beginning of Lent on Wednesday 5th March with two services of Holy Eucharist and Imposition of Ashes at St. Augustine’s Church at 10.00am and 7:30pm. This day will remind us the importance of repenting of our sins, and the symbolism of dust from which God made us. I therefore invite you to join us in this service as we dedicate and prepare ourselves for the observance of Lent. Living Hope is the Church of England’s theme for Lent 2025. It invites you to explore the hope God offers us. Each week, it considers the idea of hope from a different angle as we journey with Jesus on the road that leads to the cross – and beyond, to the transforming hope of Easter Day. Living Hope: A Lent Journey Booklet with 40 Daily Reflections is available by order. Please let us know if you would like a copy.
Holy God, our lives are laid open before you: rescue us from the chaos of sin and through the death of your Son bring us healing, and make us whole in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rev’d Jairo Nyaongo
