Preparing for Easter
Journeying with Jesus - We are running a Lent course based on the book 'Journeying with Jesus' by Fr. Denis McBride, a Redemptorist priest and scholar. We begin in the wilderness, meet at a well, climb a mountain, walk with Him on the road, share a meal, and pick up the cross. We being on Ash Wednesday, March 5th at 6pm at Church of the Risen Lord, Castle Donington. The journey then continues every Tuesday at 6pm until Easter. A book that is designed to help us accompany the course will be available.
Everyone is welcome!
