The Lent
Services
Many years ago a
tradition began in this part of Cheshire in which
services are held each week in six neighbouring
Churches on Wednesday evenings in Lent.
The first service, on Ash Wednesday, sets out the
meaning of Lent, and indeed of life itself, and is
universally felt to be a moving and enlightening
occasion. Held in the venerable surroundings of
Marton Church, reputedly one of the oldest churches
in the country, it is an experience not to be
missed.
Each succeeding week meetings are this year in
Birtles, Siddington, Eaton, Chelford and Hulme
Walfield. Each with a guest preacher and followed
(even though it is in Lent) with home produced
refreshments.
If you have never been before do come along and
savour the history of Anglican England, the
significance of Lent, and the countryside about
you.
Previous congregations will need no further
encouragement to be there.
