As we move into Lent – the period of 40 days before Easter – we have various opportunities at St Luke’s for thought and reflection, including two evening discussion groups meeting over the next five weeks.

Associate vicar Martin Wroe is running a course on Monday evenings on the subject of ‘Finding a Hidden God’. Focusing on discovering the divine in unexpected places, the group will meet at the Wroes’ home from 7.45pm. The course begins on Monday 6 March, but you can join later if you miss the start. Places are limited. Email martinwroe@mac.com for further details and to book a spot on the sofa.

On Wednesday evenings, our vicar Dave Tomlinson will be running a course on ‘The Jesus Fatwah – love your Muslim (etc) neighbour as yourself’. This explores Christianity and other faiths in a fraught and troubled world, using film footage of 17 Islamic and Christian experts to stimulate discussion. The group will meet in the side hall at St Luke’s at 7.45pm, starting on Wednesday 8 March. Bring a drink of your choice - nibbles will be provided. All are welcome. And you can join late if you miss earlier sessions. Email davetomlinson@mac.com to find out more.
