You may have wondered why we do and say some of the things we do during Holy Communion or you may once have known but things have become a bit fuzzy with time. There will be a series of studies on the Eucharist at the Rectory, 1 Arthuret Drive, CA6 5SG. It will be over a period of 6 weeks either on Mondays 1.15-2.30 pm. starting 15th May or on Wednesdays 7.30 – 9.00 pm. starting 17th May (our website cannot cope with two groups on different days!).
It will be based on:
Pilgrim Grow (2014): The Eucharist (Pilgrim Course) Church House Publishing
by Robert Atwell, Steven Croft, Stephen Cottrell, Paula Gooder (Author)
I will have a spare for session 1 so that you can see whether you want to get it. It isn’t expensive. I will send you all the materials you need for session 1 beforehand.
Each session has the following structure:
• Theme – delivered as a short video
• Opening prayers
• Conversation starter
• Scripture reading, as Lectio Divina (reading a passage slowly and prayerfully a number of times and seeing what pops out), and reflection (which is both in the booklet and as an audio recording)
• Reflection on the theme from a contemporary Christian writer (in booklet and via audio)
• Questions for discussion
• Journeying on: homework for next week
• Closing Prayer
• Wisdom for the Journey – extracts from the writings of the Church Fathers and other writers for us to think about
If you are interested in coming please leave a message with Paul Smith on 013873 81254 or [email protected] so that we know how many chairs to put out and biscuits to get in.
The Wednesday group meets at 19:30 until 21:00 hrs.
