Lent 2024
Together, Apart
Lent in a Bag
Following the popularity of Harvest and Christingle in a bag, Flitwick Church brings you Lent-in-a-bag. Full of ideas and activities to do at home with the family as we travel together, apart, through this season of preparation. You can pick up a bag in Church from Saturday 13th February (the building is open 9am to dusk daily.) Among the items is a small bag of ash so that you can join in with the 10 am service at home on Ash Wednesday (see below.)
Ash Wednesday - 17th February

While we cannot gather in Church because of COVID restrictions, the Eucharist for Ash Wednesday will be livestreamed from Church for you to join via Facebook. You do not need an account to join the worship, simply ignore any requests to log in.
'Living in Love and Faith' Course
​Sundays 7:00 pm starting 21st February on Zoom
This course aims to help us think more deeply about what it means to be human. It has emerged from significant work in the Church of England provided by the central Church to help local Churches engage in and reflect on Living in Love and Faith, a major exploration of Christian teaching and learning about identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage. All are welcome as we take part in this nation wide thinking and learning. If possible, please email Lucy if you are planning to come along, so that we can order copies of the accompanying booklet. To access the session please use Zoom codes: meeting ID 854 0944 6136, Passcode 543222 or click this link.
Quiet Day
Wednesday 10th March starting at 10 am on Zoom
