Thursday 06 February 2025, Thursday 13 February 2025, Thursday 20 February 2025 at for 1 hour
Venue
Private Residence in Henton
Address
Private Residence in Henton

Over 3 weeks the course focuses on art telling Old Testament Bible stories. Based on a book by Revd Nicholas Holtam of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, which explores the power of art to capture us and transport us beyond ourselves. Revd Nicholas finds that viewing art removes many boundaries to engaging with the Bible. Many of the paintings in the National Gallery are of Christian subjects and were created as devotional pieces for places of worship or people’s homes. Paintings of Biblical events encourage us to join the journey of former generations in getting to know God. Each week will focus on a single painting, encouraging you to look and think about it, and there will be commentary and a prayer linked to each painting. If you would like to join please book online via our website: www.chwchurches.co.uk or contact Katrina, by phone: 07704604165, or by email: [email protected]

This is followed by readings from the Bible, including the joyous words of the Virgin Mary when she learned she would give birth to Jesus, and the heartfelt words of Simeon, when he recognises the Messiah when he meets Jesus. The service ends with prayers: the Lord's Prayer, the prayer for the day, a prayer for peace and a prayer for help against troubles. There are four hymns which are sung during the service, and a a short talk too.
