The Season of Lent
at St Edmund's Church Northwood Hills
ASH WEDNESDAY
Lent began on Ash Wednesday which fell on the 5th of March this year.
Services were held at St Edmund's on Ash Wednesday at 10am (Said Eucharist) and at 8pm (Sung Eucharist). During these services the Imposition of Ashes was offered. Receiving the mark of ashes on our foreheads reminded us of our mortality and was a symbol of penitence.
LENT COURSE
Our Lent Course this year is called 'Another Story Must Begin' and is based on Victor Hugo's book, film and stage adaptation of "Les Misérables".
​
Using clips from the film we will explore the grace of God and our own fallen state and opportunity for redemption, and help us reassess what we can do with our lives and for those around us.
​
The booklet for the course is written by Jonathan Meyer and is called 'Another Story Must Begin'. It is obtainable on Amazon here. The course is running on Thursday evenings, from 13th March until 10th April. Please come and enjoy the discussions!
The course will be held in the Hall on:
​
-
Thursday 13th March 7.45pm
-
Thursday 20th March 7.45pm

Thursday 27th March 7.45pm
