Lent Course 2023 - The Aramaic IV The Lord’s Prayer: A Reflection in four sessions

Every Tuesday at for 1 hour
St Michael and All Angels, Wembworthy
St Michael and All Angels, Wembworthy, The Village Wembworthy, EX18 7RY, United Kingdom
The course will be led by Clive Jobbins and if the debate is good we'll keep going so stay as long as you're able. The topic is The Aramaic IV The Lord’s Prayer: A Reflection in four sessions of an hour or more.

The Aramaic words which we will reflect upon are based on Neil Douglas-Klotz’ excellent scholarship and will be used as a core text. As I studied them in the past, I was made to think again of the language Jesus spoke and how the words of Lord’s Prayer which we say, comes from the restrictive Latin, Hebrew, and Greek. There is a richness, colour, mystical meaning, and interpretation in the Aramaic words which has been arguably lost to us or only limited to the ivory towers of scholars.

Soup lunch will be provided, so please call the Warden, Chris Rogers on 07870 265386 to make sure there's plenty of soup.

All Saints, Eggesford

Welcome to All Saints, Eggesford

The church is open daily between about 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. It stands alone near the River Taw in the centre of a large estate belonging to the Earls of Portsmouth which no longer exists. Inside are impressive memorials to the Chichesters and Fellowes, former owners. We are a friendly congregation welcoming locals and visitors from far and wide to traditional Evening Prayer at 6.00 p.m. on the third Sunday of every month.

We offer a more formal type of service grounded in Church of England liturgy with the love of God at the heart of all we do and offer. The services are generally in traditional language with seasonal services and life events in contemporary language.

There is also a 24/7 telephone line available called ‘Daily Hope’ which is free and has a selection of hymns, short reflections and prayers call 0800 804 8044. This may be of use to your friends and neighbours who have no access to the internet. Please share it with them.

We are part of the Little Dart Mission Community, a group of 12 churches under the leadership of our Team Rector, The Reverend Tony Rockey 01769 581712
