Dear folks,

Have you ever read the Narnia books? Perhaps you’ve read them yourself or read them to your children, or maybe not at all. Beneath the magical world of Narnia depicted in these stories, where lions and beavers talk and witches cast spells, lie deep truths about suffering, sin and hell, as well as redemption, victory and hope.

Their author was C.S. Lewis, an English professor at Oxford University, but also a committed Christian. Indeed he was one of the best Christian writers of the 20th Century.

This Lent (it’s approaching fast – can you believe it) for our Lent course we’ll be looking at the first Narnia story ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’, discussing clips from the Disney film, as well as reflecting on C. S. Lewis’s life looking at Richard Attenborough’s film ‘Shadowlands’.

Please come along if you can, as it will be a stimulating and challenging time. My prayer is that through it we will encounter Christ, who, like Aslan in Narnia, is ‘not a tame lion’. We will meet on Tuesdays at 8pm in Lent, starting on the 23rd of February.

God bless you,

Dan
