Deanery News

As we journey through Lent, we are inviting everyone to join us for one of our Deanery Lent Services, which are taking place on Tuesday Evenings throughout Lent. This year we are looking at some of the big questions of our faith, giving our speakers time in the context of our worship to explore one of these questions with us each week.

Each service starts at 7.30 pm, and we hope folk will be able to join us as we travel round the Deanery, enjoying each other’s hospitality as we move towards Holy Week and Easter. The final service is the Holy Communion of Holy Week, at which Bishop Christopher will be both preaching and presiding.

Tuesday 1^st March - St. David’s Church, Newbold
Revd. Canon Christopher Lamb, ‘Islam and the Gospel and the People of Violence

Tuesday 8^th March - St. Peter & St. Paul, Long Compton
Katherine Walakira, ‘Is Prayer Superfluous?’

Tuesday 15^th March - St. George’s Church, Brailes
Revd. Stuart Allen, ‘Did Jesus really have to die?’

Tuesday 22^nd March - St. Gregory’s Church, Tredington
Eucharist of Holy Week, with Bishop Christopher, ‘Why does God allow bad things to happen?’
