Lent 2025
RESOURCE FOR LENT 2025
This year as church we are running the Christ and the Chocolaterie as our Lent study. This is an original, innovative and lively Lent course inspired by the film Chocolat, based in turn on the bestselling novel by Joanne Harris. We will be using the film as a starting point for exploring issues about God, and the world we live in.
In the first session we will view the film 'Chocolat'. Following this we will look at themes of giving, acceptance and change over five sessions. Each session includes clips from the film, group discussion questions and follow up ideas.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The Lent Study is free!
