Week commencing 3rd February

Lent Course - Everyday bread

Since the days when Jesus of Nazareth called together a group of followers some people have found in their Christian faith a treasure which illuminates their whole life. Others have found a way of worshipping, a way of belonging, a way of praying and thinking about God which fills them with enthusiasm for changing the world around them! Yet the treasure may not be found and the way remains hidden. Sometimes, especially to newcomers, Christianity looks like a closed book instead of a glowing treasure. Where is the way in? Sometimes, to those who are already on the way of Christ, faith becomes stale, lacking obvious connection with our life let alone vibrancy and enjoyment. Sometimes, if we are questioners, the questions which matter to us most seem to go unheard, as if they should be left by us well outside the door of the Church. There seems to be no friend to listen to us as we search.
 
This course presents a Living Christianity, provides a way of walking in God’s love and justice, encourages honest protest about where we are falling short of God’s kingdom, and offers routes into worship and prayer. It is about enjoyment, exploring in the company of others a living faith which may become for us a Way of Life, a “pearl of great price.”
 
There are 5 sessions: Engaging,  Listening, Responding, Sharing, Sending and the course  starts on Thursday 21st February. Depending upon numbers we may run this as one group or as a number of smaller groups meeting in homes. Please sign up on the sheet at the back of church
