This Lent we are doing things a bit differently.
Rather than the often quite token giving up of crisps or chocolate, this Lent we are being encouraged by Rev Dave to think about how we might draw closer to God through developing a 'Rule of Life'. Through prayer, reflection, Bible reading, quiet and other spiritual practices we can plan each day to grow in our knowledge and love of God. Partnered to this we are also putting on extra activities that will help us pray, read the Bible, and be present with God together in a variety of ways.
The parish of Thorpe Bay: St Augustine is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Chelmsford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
