Have your cake and Lent it The second of March, this year, is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Christian season of Lent. This is traditionally a time for people to abstain from certain things, to help them prepare for the story of Holy Week, Good Friday and Easter (11-17 April 2022). It is ironic then, perhaps, that the chapel is providing opportunity to enjoy cake and hot drinks just a few days into Lent. But in these days, Christian believers are encouraged, not to give up things, but to take on new things as a daily discipline for these six and a half weeks. It might be reading from the Bible (such as the Gospel of Mark) or another devotional book or raising awareness for a just cause or simply saying a kind word. Doing something every day takes dedication but gives great reward. If you are interested in daily reading, then why not use the free devotional resource from the Methodist relief and development fund? It is available at https://www.allwecan.org.uk/lentdevotional2022/ Whatever you decide to do, please join us at the coffee morning on the first Saturday of the month, 10am, 5th March. If you have given up cake, then you can always buy one for a friend! Monday Club extends a warm welcome for new friends, 2pm to 3:30pm every week, with Scrabble and refreshments.
