My personal Lent book: Today it asks what is the ‘Turkish Delight’ temptation that turns your head, as Edwin’s was turned, leading him into difficult waters. Reminds me of an art therapist I once worked with who cautioned me (during my foray into politics) to ‘beware the golden blancmange’. Looks delicious but tastes of nothing, looks plenteous but nourishes little. (Mthr. Arwen)

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent in the church’s year. We invite you to walk the way with us at St. Mary’s. For details of our Lent lunches, talks and services, please see our website and booking link http://www.stmaryseastbourne
