Church of St. Francis of Assisi | Bridging Light Youth Ministry

Hey people,

Lent begins this week with the start of Ash Wednesday. On Ash Wednesday, the priest rub ashes on our forehead with the words "Turn away from sin and be faithful to the gospel." a reminder of our baptismal promises to reject sin. It calls us to conversion, to move away from sin and towards Christ. Lent is a period of conversion! Are you once again ready to move towards Christ?

1) Lent cell - Join us in this week's 1st session of Lent. Rediscover the Temptations of Jesus through a short activity, Bible and small group sharing. 8.30pm, The Lighthouse, 27 March.

2) There Will be Blood movie screening - The movie follows the rise and fall of a ruthless oil tycoon who fleeces a poor central California family of their land, and eventually finds himself pitted against one of the family's sons, a charismatic preacher. A movie that forces us to re-examine our choices: God or money? 8.00pm, The Lighthouse, 28 March. Bring a friend and a pkt of chips along:)
