So not only will we be looking back but also looking through the prism of our everyday existence through to the future.WEEK ONE 25TH FEBRUARY Bergh Apton Village Hall NR15 1AA"In the beginning"This week we shall explore how bread in the Old Testament was used to give substance and illustration to faith in God, from the importance of Melchizedek through to the provision of manna in the desert.We use powerful pictures, inspiring music and muses from the poets to bring these thoughts to life.WEEK TWO 4TH MARCH Rockland Barn NR14 7EY "Daily Bread" How important is our daily bread? Not just the crusty cob on our breakfast table but the daily seeking of a relationship with God through Jesus Christ? We look at the place of regular prayer and especially the Lord's Prayer.WEEK THREE 11TH MARCH Rockland Barn NR14 7EY"Famine"Much of the world has no experience or conception of having not to worry about the provision of food. There is plenty in the world, but it doesn't always get to the right places.Famine also describes the occasions when things don't go well in our lives and enjoyment of the Bread of Life seems far away.WEEK FOUR 18TH MARCH Bergh Apton Village Hall NR15 1AA "Feast"Feasts are signs of celebration, and we have all enjoyed times when we have enjoyed hospitality and good food, including bread.What about enjoying the knowledge that the Bread of Heaven is so plentiful that it is always more abundant than our need demands. Are we secure in such knowledge?WEEK FIVE 25TH MARCH Rockland Barn NR14 7EY"The Last Supper"This is the only worship command given to us by Jesus, apart from the Lord's Prayer.We look behind the scenes at its background and go through a moving enactment of how bread played such a key role.Bread starts with the grain, both the death and life of the corn. Jesus comes to know both, and to brings us Life.
