This Lent and Easter, journey with Archbishop Stephen Cottrell through his new book ‘Godforsaken’ with The Big Church Read. Visit The Big Church Read to access FREE videos from Archbishop Stephen to accompany the book. You’ll also find a reading plan and questions for discussion or reflection.
In ‘Godforsaken’ Archbishop Stephen ponders on Jesus’ last words from the Cross, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ (the first line of Psalm 22). It’s an anguished expression – traditionally ascribed to King David – of defeat, failure, abandonment and despair. What does it mean for Jesus to have quoted them, at the very end of his life? What do those words mean for us? This is a beautiful and compelling exploration of the dark, suffering side of the Passion – and how Jesus’ words lead us to the greatest hope of all.
Gather people together to read through ‘Godforsaken’ this Lent with the Big Church Read. It’s FREE to join in and is ideal to be used by individuals, small groups and whole Churches. To find out more visit www.thebigchurchread.co.

We are delighted to invite you to attend our free crime prevention webinars running during February. Each webinar will be delivered by Neighbourhood Watch with an expert speaker on each of the topics of knife crime, burglary prevention and scams. Places are free but limited. We traditionally fill places very quickly so book your place soon to avoid disappointment. As our webinars are very popular, we ask that you only book a place if you intend to attend, to open spaces for others.
The PREVENTING BURGLARY WITH WIDEN and UNDERSTANDING THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SCAMS webinars will each be run twice – you only need to book on one of those, not both.
The EXPLOITATION, GANGS AND KNIFE CRIME AWARENESS FOR PARENTS AND CARERS is a two-part course; and we ask that ONLY PARENTS AND CARERS attend those and that you commit to attending both sessions.
BOOK YOUR PLACES HERE
