Lent and Easter 2025 at St Columba’s

Journey to Easter 2025

Lent and Easter 2025

Each year, Lent, Holy Week and Easter gives opportunity to explore the beauty and mystery of Christ’s life, death and resurrection; a time to assess what is important; a time to explore or deepen one’s faith. Jesus’ own hard road to the Cross is reminder and strength for the hard roads which we, or our loved ones, may also be required to travel. Whether the stories of Easter are familiar, whether you know this church well, or not, we invite you to be part of this significant season, a time of pilgrimage and discovery, leading to the profound celebrations of Easter morning.

Prayer for Lent

God of all seasons,
in your pattern of things
there is a time for keeping
and a time for losing,
a time for building up
and a time for pulling down.
In this holy season of Lent,
as we journey with our Lord
to the cross,
help us to discern in our lives
what we must lay down
and what we must take up;
what we must end
and what we must begin.
Give us grace
to lead a disciplined life,
in glad obedience
and with the joy which comes
from a closer walk with Christ.
Amen.
