The Polwarth Labyrinth Team invites you to the next event on Thursday 26th February.
As usual, this is a candlelit drop-in evening, from 7pm until 9pm.

Pancakes today? What have you planned for tomorrow? Why not follow along with the new Lent series on Lectio 365. There is also an introductory short film to watch https://lectio365.com/desertresources/

NEW SERIES - 🔥Wisdom In The Desert.

Starting tomorrow, we are beginning a series that will run throughout Lent, following the lives of the Desert Mothers and Fathers. This series will challenge and inspire us to fix our eyes on Jesus, commit ourselves to following Him more closely, and explore what radical prayer and counter-cultural lives look like.

📲Open the Lectio 365 app and pray the Bible throughout Lent.
