Lent at Shallowford

Beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending on Easter, Lent is a season of spiritual reflection and faithful discipline. This year, we will journey through the Gospel of John, encountering stories that invite us to follow Jesus to the cross and beyond. During these six weeks, we invite you to deepen your faith through meaningful worship, Sunday school, shared meals, and small groups for all.
