What are you giving up for Lent? Is it chocolate?
It's a popular item for many of us to deprive ourselves as we prepare for Easter. But this year the one thing we don't want you to give up is Chocolat. That's because it's the film we are using as the theme for our 2022 Lent Course.
Christ and the Chocolaterie is an original, innovative and lively Lent course inspired by the film Chocolat. Using the film as a starting point for exploring issues about God, the world, and what it means to be human, the sessions focus on the themes of:
- Giving up - the prelude to change
- Giving out - the power of a gift
- Getting wise - the possibility of change
- Getting real - the power of acceptance
- Growing up - the process of change
Each session included extracts from the film as well as discussions and suggestions for further reading.
Join us to watch the film Chocolat on Tuesday 1 March at 7pm in church and then each Tuesday in Lent we will get together at 7:30pm to explore different parts of the film.
