This is what we did in our Lent Groups 2017
Our Lenten journey began on 1st March this year.
There was a service of Holy Communion at 9:15 am and 7.30 pm on that day, which was Ash Wednesday.
We then had Churches Together in Richmond Lent home groups which you could join called “Receiving Christ – in five different ways”, commencing w/c 6th March.
Session One Receiving Christ: as children of God.
Session Two Receiving Christ: in the stranger and the needy
Session Three Receiving Christ: in Holy Communion
Session Four Receiving Christ: through prayer and fellowship
Session Five Christ in you, the hope of glory
There was a choice of four times and venues.
Tuesday 2:00pm 56 Gilling Road
Wednesday 12:00pm Methodist Church Hall
Wednesday 7:30pm 2 Hurgill Road
Thursday 7:30pm 1 Roper Court

"A Special Report"
A poem written by George Alderson, one of our Readers as part of his Palm Sunday sermon.
A humble King upon a colt
rides into town with great cheers.
He does not need the ballyhoo which, though so loud, he hardly hears.
He is the Christ; he's also Man. Subject to pain, and so he fears.
He knows that, soon, the soldiers come.
They will arrest him, armed with spears.
He'll stand before a crowd which mocks.
He'll suffer all their jibes and jeers.
At their behest, he's crucified.
There are few friends and fewer tears.
His Mother weeps beneath the cross.
And also he whom Christ reveres.
It is the end, or so it seems.
At least that's how it now appears.
