Laetare!
This Sunday is the 4th Sunday of Lent – Laetare or Refreshment Sunday. In the Gospel reading, we hear of Jesus healing the man born blind. Like him, let us ask for the gift of faith and spiritual sight.

Laetare Sunday
This Sunday the Church observes a lightening of Lenten strictures, visible in the rose vestments worn in preference to penitential purple. Everyone is encouraged to join in by wearing something pink.

This Sunday is also Mothering Sunday. Please join us at 5pm for Choral Evensong, with music by Charles Wood followed by homemade Simnel cake and liturgically appropriate pink fizz!
