 We have specifically designed three special sessions to help young people think about, and explore Lent, Holy Week and Easter. These are ideal sessions for those who have been Confirmed or children aged between 10-16years who wish to explore the Christian faith. Each session will consist of a short talk with the opportunity for discussion and group work and reflection and prayer activities.

The dates for the Young People’s Lent Course will be:

Monday March 1st, Monday March 15th, and Monday April 5th.

The sessions are from 7-8pm in Church.
