Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and follows through to Palm Sunday. It is a season of depth and richness as we reflect on those things we have done wrong and call to God for forgiveness.

Ash Wednesday – 18 February

10am Holy Communion with Imposition of Ashes (in Church)
7:30pm Holy Communion with Imposition of Ashes (in Oxhey Chapel)

Beginning the journey
‘turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ’
As the Season of Lent begins, we are marked again with the cross with which we were signed at our baptism – a reminder of both death to life and life in death.

Sunday Holy Communion Services

10am each Sunday

The Sunday Collects are the inspiration for Sunday sermons this year. Collects are the special prayers written for Sundays and special Feast Days. You’ll find them in a leaflet available in church – which also has the readings for the different Sundays. Look them up in advance, take time to pray and reflect with them and then compare what you come up with to the preacher on the Sunday!

Compline (Night Prayer)

9pm Monday evenings, online

Join this ancient and beautiful service to close the day.

Lent Groups

Thursdays at 11:30am (in church), and
Fridays at 8pm (house group, ask for venue details)

We’re using a Lent Course written especially for All Saints’ – relating to prayer and spirituality. Everyone is welcome to join us for either of the groups above.
