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.
