LENT COURSES

Travelling Well Together

This Lent course is being hosted by St Mary's.  This is open to the rest of the Team and ecumenically within Saffron Walden.
Being a faithful Christian in a diverse Church during changing and challenging times is not easy.  The temptation is to withdraw into a "holy huddle", pull up the drawbridge, and turn our backs on the world outside.  Through a series of reflections, using Lectio Divina, we will be considering how we might better be the people of God together and live out our faith. This course is taken from the Chelmsford Diocesan resources for "Travelling Well Together" and comes with Bishop Guli's recommendation.

  • Rev'd Hilary Walker will offer six sessions, starting on Ash Wednesday 18 February at 2.00pm in the Parish Rooms. Sign up on sheet at back of church.
  • Rev'd Jeremy Trew will offer six sessions, starting on Thursday 12th February, at 7.30pm in the North Chapel - (not on 19 March). These will be set in the context of Night Prayer. Just turn up to this one.
