Lent
Together with other churches in Bromborough and Eastham during Lent we will are following a Lent Course produced last year by Churches Together in Britain and Ireland. The course is based around the Nicene Creed of which the 1700th anniversary was in 2025 and is titled “Christian Unity in a Fragmenting World”.
There are house groups in each of the weeks of Lent (groups of six to eight people meeting in peoples’ homes). If you would like to join a group please contact Philip or Helen Mayles via our website contact email: contactstmaryseastham@gmail.com
Lent talks, also on the subject of Christian Unity in a Fragmenting World, will take place at Bromborough Methodist Church, Allport Lane, CH62 7HW on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm.
- Week 4. 18th Mar. Journeying forward together in hope. Andrew Clough. Bromborough Methodist
