Lent 2025

Last year we used Lent to pause and slow down and consider that the purpose of Lent was to create space in the middle of life’s responsibilities to appreciate what’s always been there: God’s presence.

There was something very valuable about joining together in new ways and discovering God in this way. This year we are doing something similar, but simpler.

Lent is a 40-day period of making space for God leading up to Easter Sunday, based on Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness and is an important tool that can help us to listen to God’s voice

While Lent does traditionally include personal sacrifice, the goal of this time isn’t to “better” your life, but to centre your life on what matters most: the One who made you and loves you endlessly.

In the parish over Lent 2025 we want to take this again and examine what it means in the widest sense. There will be a range of activities and studies and we hope that it will enable everyone to encounter and notice God in new and familiar ways.

Together, let’s make space for what matters.

All of these activities are available to everyone and it is fine to just dip into things as your schedule allows!
