Lent theme

Love Unleashed

Heart balloons going into the sky

10th February 2024

We're pleased to announce this year's theme for lent - "Love Unleashed".

Many people still 'give up' something for lent - may be it's chocolate, or social media. This lent we'll be reflecting on what Jesus gave up and what we're called to give up. Then on Easter as people enjoy taking up things again, we think about Jesus' call to 'Take up life'.
