Ash Wednesday and Lent 2012
We will begin Lent with a service of Holy Communion with Ashing in St Peter and St Paul’s church on Wednesday 22nd February. The choir are preparing pieces to inspire us during the ashing part of the service.
During Lent we will be following the popular York Course, this year titled 'Handing on the torch: sacred words for a secular world'.
 The introduction to the course states:
Christianity is the largest movement our world has ever seen. It continues to grow at an immense pace – especially in Asia (including China), Africa and Latin America. At the same time, Christianity in the West struggles to grow and perhaps even to survive.
In this course we consider the reasons for this and what it might mean for individual Christians, for churches and for Western culture, in a world where alternative beliefs are increasingly on offer.
Session 1: A Christian country?
Session 2: A secular society?
Session 3: A beleaguered church?
Session 4: Competing creeds?
Session 5: Handing on the torch
Nearer the time we will make know when and where groups are available. Courses are open to all, regardless of how often (or not!) people are in church.
