For Lent, The Church of England has produced Lent Pilgrim, a series of daily reflections on The Beatitudes by the Bishop of Oxford, Dr Stephen Croft. You can sign up here for daily emails on the reflections: http://bit.ly/2C10boO or alternatively you can download the app for IOS or Android here: http://bit.ly/2C1ZwmN'The 40 daily reflections on The Beatitudes – eight beautiful sayings at the heart of Jesus’ teaching – are grouped in eight groups of five days on each beatitude.Each day offers you the chance to listen to and read:• A theme linked to the beatitude• A suggested short Bible reading that explores that theme• A short reflection by Steven Croft• A suggestion of how to pray• A prompt to act.Across each group of five days, LentPilgrim explores what each beatitude tells us about Jesus, what it tells us about a vision for human life and the life of the Church.'
Following The Anglican Church in St Petersburg's 4pm service this coming Sunday, 9th December, our churchwarden Maria Karyakina is proposing to take a group from the church to visit the 'Russia and the Bible' exhibition that is currently on at the Arts Square Gallery at Italianskaya 5, a relatively short walk from the Petrikirche.Tickets for the exhibition cost ₽200 each (₽100 for students) and include a guided tour of the exhibits.If you are interested in going to the exhibition after church this Sunday, please let Maria know via the Get in touch page or via her Facebook page.
