As we prepare for the sacred season of Lent, Christ Church Sowerby Bridge warmly invites you to join us for a variety of services and events that encourage reflection, love, and togetherness.
Shrove Tuesday & Pancakes
Lent begins with Shrove Tuesday on February 25th, and what better way to start the season than with pancakes? The church will be open for anyone to come in and enjoy a pancake or two—so drop in for some sweet treats and good company!
Ash Wednesday Service
On Wednesday, February 26th, we mark the beginning of Lent with our Ash Wednesday service at 7pm. This reflective service offers an opportunity to pause, pray, and focus on our spiritual journey through the season of Lent.
Lantern Lunch
Our beloved Lantern Lunch returns every Sunday at 12:15pm throughout Lent. Everyone is welcome to share in this time of fellowship and enjoy a warm, hearty meal with the church family. Come along and feel at home with us!
Mothering Sunday - Lighting the Church with Love
On Sunday, March 30th, we celebrate Mothering Sunday, a special time to remember and give thanks for our mothers and all those who have nurtured us. This year, we will be lighting the church with love by offering candles to remember our mums, aunts, grans, or anyone who has been like a mother to us. Candles are available for £1.00 each, and we invite everyone to light one as a sign of love and remembrance during the service.
Whether you join us for reflection, a meal, or to remember a loved one, this Lent, Christ Church offers a place of warmth, hope, and community. We look forward to welcoming you.
