On Ash Wednesday (February 22) Lent begins with Holy Communion at 10am.

Throughout Lent, starting on March 2 every Friday from 12.30 -2pm there are Lent lunches in the Memorial Hall. People will be able to enjoy home made soup, bread and a range of cheeses with friends and neighbours and proceeds wll go to a different charity each week chosen by whoever puts the meal together. It’s a great way to spend Friday lunchtime.
