Lent is an important season of preparation for Easter, and for our personal, spiritual growth. We hope we can support you and resource you to make the most of this year’s season of Lent.
Ash Wednesday
There will be two services of Holy Communion – with the option to receive the imposition of ashes – at both 12.30pm and then again at 7pm. We really do hope you will be able to join us for one or the other service. Please do come and use the opportunity to start Lent with a purpose.

Lent Groups
You might like to join in one of our Growing Roots groups for the season of Lent, for five sessions looking at our Sunday themes relating to prayer. All are welcome to join in. The groups meet Thursday evenings on line, or Thursday afternoon in person in the church building. If you would like to join a group then please contact Revd Matt Churchouse – Matt@bullring.org If you are not able to join in on a Thursday please let Matt know and it may be possible to organise another group for a different day depending on demand.
If you are concerned about times and days then please do let us know.
