Lent Season 2025

A Six Week Course for the Season of Lent

Anyone who has listened to the Bible in church, or read it for themselves, will appreciate how diverse and different it can all be.  Across 66 books, there are many styles and genres of text.  How these books became their current shape, and how they were transferred through history is a story all of its own.

For Lent 2025, Rector Chris and Revd Justin are going to host six evenings, with each session dedicated as a focus upon one such kind of biblical genre.  Across all the law and prophets, four gospels and many letters, the narrative and wisdom of the Bible is laid open to us, with some guidance to help read it and learn from it.

The course begins on Tuesday 12th March, and on each Tuesday until finishing on 16th April in Holy Week.  We shall gather together in St Bartholomew’s, to both learn, pray and worship together. 

There will also be guided reading to partner the course, for those who would like the chance to read and reflect at home.

Please keep a look-out on this web page and the Sunday notes sheet for sign-up details 2-3 weeks before the course begins.
