This Lent we are offering a variety of activities including the Pilgrim Course (about the Creeds) and a course on Prayer in the deanery with Bishop Mark. In addition this Lent we will be exploring the life of Saint Francis and how he might inspire our Christian lives today.

Book Club: join a group reading ‘Chasing Francis: a pilgrim’s tale’ by Ian Morgan Cron ending Lent with a discussion group.
Chase Falson has lost his faith so he crosses the Atlantic to visit his uncle, a Franciscan priest, where he encounters the teachings of Francis of Assisi and rediscovers his ancient faith. Follow Chase’s spiritual journey in the footsteps of Francis, and then begin one of your own through the pilgrim’s guide included in this book.
