Lenten Wilderness Wanderings

Happy “Shrove Tuesday” or “Pancake Tuesday” or “Mardi Gras” or whatever you call this day that falls the day before “Ash Wednesday”.

With Lent upon us (that 40 day period leading up to Easter not including Sundays) we will as a church be embarking on a series looking at the Israelite's journey out of Egypt and their time in the dessert from the book of Exodus. As you know, Lent is a time of reflection, repentance and preparation. Over the weeks we will be reflecting on who God is and what he has done in Christ with a view to preparing our hearts and minds to more effectively extend His kingdom together this year.

Newt has also prepared some fantastic Lentern resources based on the book of Jonah which I strongly recommend to you. They are available on the website on the home page.

I can’t wait to get home tonight and start munching pancakes with the boys and my lovely wife.

See you on Sunday.
