LENT COURSE FOR 2020 - SUPERSTAR! This year’s Lent Course is based on questions raised by the rock opera ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’. David Wilbourne, a former Bishop of Llandaff wrote the course booklet and there will be five sessions this year each held on Tuesday evenings at 7.30 pm (replacing the usual Bible Study). The first session is on Tuesday 25th February. Everyone is welcome.

Lent is fast approaching and the pancakes are beckoning for Shrove Tuesday! We have various services in our parish for Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. Please come along and join us on Wednesday, February 26th at this very special time in the Christian calendar.

If you are visiting Sunderland we would like to invite you to come along to our Church on Sunday as we gather together to worship the Lord. We have 2 Holy Communion services at 8 am and 9.30 am and a warm welcome awaits you at both of these. If the church doors are locked due to the weather conditions this means we are meeting in the Priestman Hall which is to the rear of the church.

Make a joyful shout for joy to the Lord, all you lands. Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God. It is He who made us, and not we ourselves;... We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations. Psalm 100: 1-5
