Lent Course 2021
‘FROM NOW ON’ is a new and original Lent course by Rachel Mann. Taking the film ‘The Greatest Showman’ as a starting point, the course explores ways in which themes of faith, hope and redemption run through all our lives. It examines how each of us – like P.T. Barnum and the members of his Circus – face and can overcome doubt, temptation and prejudice and how we can begin to live authentic lives.
The course is based around five weekly sessions based on the songs in the film:
Wednesday 24th February ‘Million Dreams’ - exploring what liberation and hope might look like to an ‘outsider’.
Wednesday 3rd March ‘Come Alive’ - exploring how the family of faith can bring hope and purpose.
Wednesday 10th March ‘Rewrite the Stars’ – asks what forms of resistance can be placed in the way of salvation.
Wednesday 17th March ‘Never Enough’ – questions the temptations of false fulfilment that can lead us to betrayal.
Wednesday 24th March ‘The Greatest Show’ - shows how redemption is found when we discover ‘the circus is our home’.
The Lent Course will be in place of our usual pattern of Evening Prayer, though each week we will still have the opportunity to worship and pray.
