A Wilderness Journey


We have entered into our Lenten journey, when we walk alongside Christ as he turns his face to Jerusalem, that very place where all will turn against him. This journey takes us through our own personal wilderness; into those places of pain, despair, hopelessness; those places where we do not allow God to be God within us. It is a journey that allows us to look deep into ourselves and to realise that the deepest image within us is that image of God's love that can never be removed. The forty days of Lent leads us into the humbling days of Holy Week and finally to the celebration of Easter and beyond. Come and journey with us.

Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return...



Tonight we begin our journey to Easter with the sign of ashes, an ancient sign, speaking of the frailty and uncertainty of human life and marking the penitence of the community as a whole. You are invited to a service of Holy Communion with the Imposition of Ashes at 7:30 pm at St. Peter's. All are welcome.
