On Thursday at 9pm each Thursday in Lent there will be a 20 minute service of compline with lots of plainchant sung by the Ebor singers in the minster by night with the lighting at candlelit level. If you like Transcendence you'll love it! (but enter via the "back door", otherwise known as the north door, through the minster car park near the Treasurers house). Also if you'd like a Lenten meditation beforehand this will start at 8.30 (again enter via the back door).

The service on the 28th February will be family friendly, but still have all our multimedia elements. It will start at 4pm and there will be cake afterwards!

There is a Fresh Expressions day in Lincoln on the 5th March with Archbishop Rowan Williams on sustaining a Fresh Expression. More details from the Fresh Expressions site (cost is 25 pounds but that is the cost price of venue hire).

If you are interested in learning about Christianity we are starting an Emmaus course just after Easter. It will begin on the 18th April and we will meet every other Sunday night at 7pm in St Cuthberts for 3 months or so. There will be lots of discussion and some *short* talks.
