Lent 2022 – Journey, place and devotion: Medieval pilgrimage – our pilgrimage.
Sundays, 6 – 7 p.m. at St Nicholas Rawreth in the context of Evensong, led by Brenda Wallace
Drawing on some of the themes of my thesis, this series will look at some aspects of Medieval Pilgrimage to Jerusalem through the eyes of pilgrims, and consider how their experiences relates to our own journey of faith and devotion. Each evening will begin with Evensong, and may include a slide presentation as well as time for our own reflection.
Sunday 6th March – Evensong (Brenda on retreat)
Sunday 12th March – Encountering the sacred: what makes a place holy?
Sunday 20th March – Remembering the sacred: how does memory enrich our devotion?
Sunday 27th March – Devotion and pilgrimage: prayer and journey
Sunday 3rd April – Bringing Jerusalem back home: recreating the experience
Sunday 10th April (Palm Sunday) – A virtual pilgrimage in the Church.
Quiz Night
There will be a Quiz Night in Rawreth Village Hall in April (date TBA) in aid of St. Luke’s Hospice.
