Hope URC, Denton have windows which face out onto the main road and decided they provided an opportunity to tell the Lent story in pictures.
This followed on from the success of their Advent story which was intended to be backlit (when the church lights were on) but they found they also worked really well in daylight.
This follows nicely on from our Lent Discussions about caring for creation. Can we do something about it?
If you lead worship (or part of it) this is the group for you. Come and share thoughts with others in the same boat.
All are welcome to join the meetings (any/all) and share thoughts

While the meeting will open at 11:30, worship / reflection will start a little later to allow for greetings and everyone to settle, and conclude about 12:05.
