Paddington in Peru: A Journey of Faith, Belonging and Hope

This Lent, we invite you to join us for a six-week Bible Study inspired by Paddington in Peru.

Through Scripture and key moments from the film, we will explore themes of belonging, courage, forgiveness, identity, and hope. As Paddington journeys between worlds in search of home, we will reflect on our own journey of faith — and what it means to follow Christ in today’s world.

Lent is a season of preparation, reflection, and renewal as we walk towards Easter. Whether you are new to Bible study or have been part of church life for many years, you are warmly welcome to join us.

Why Paddington?

Paddington’s story is one of journey, welcome, identity, and home. It gently invites us to consider what it means to belong — not only to one another, but to God. In a world where questions of migration, community, and hospitality often dominate headlines, Scripture offers wisdom, compassion, and hope.
