Lent Study Book
This year's Lent Study book is Tom Wright's book "Lent and Easter for Everyone". We will start reading the book on Ash Wednesday (5th March) and continue with daily readings (except for Sundays) for 8 weeks till Thursday 17th April.
We will meet in our homegroups (either weekly or every fortnight) to discuss anything that came up in the past week's home readings. If you need a copy of the book you are best to order one for yourself as it will be quicker. Second hand copies are available on-line or there is an e-book version.
Maundy Thursday 7.30pm "Were you there?"
As I explained at the last church meeting I would like to put together an evening of dramatic monologues comprising characters who were witnesses of the last week of Jesus' life prior to, and including his resurrection. These can be actual named biblical characters like Mary Magdalene, or imagined characters like a soldier of the crucifixion detail. I would like 8 people to offer to write and perform a 3 minute monologue describing: the scene they saw, the sounds they heard , the feelings they felt , and what they thought of Jesus. (If you want to write a script but don't want to perform it, I am sure I can find an actor for you).
These monologues will be interspersed with songs and the evening will finish with a celebration of the Lord's Supper. . Here are some suggested characters, but you are free to select your own. I will put a list at the back of the church so you can sign up. Characters for example: The woman who anoints Jesus at Bethany , A disciple at the Last Supper, James or John at Gethsemane, One of the Sanhedrin at Jesus trial. A servant girl in the High Priest's house. Pilate' wife, Simon of Cyrene, A soldier of the Crucifixion detail. One of the women at the foot of the cross, Mary Magdalene at the Resurrection, Peter.
Please don't be too long to sign up as I need to know if this idea has legs
