Bishop`s Challenge
The Bishop has called us as the people of God in this Diocese to be involved in the following:
1. One part of the challenge is to receive a daily verse from Luke`s Gospel and to ‘read it, learn it, pray it, do it!` These verses will be set out on the weekly welcome sheet or can be downloaded directly from the website www.stalbans.anglican.org/Mission/Lent-Course-2010, where further details of the Bishop`s challenge can be found. The idea is to learn some words of Jesus by heart each day and then pray that God will give us the chance to put them into action.
2. To become part of a small group which would meet weekly to spend some time looking at the Gospel for each Sunday in Lent. (These readings will be the basis of Sunday sermons in Lent.) All the material is provided. This can be done by
a. joining one of the following homegroups already in existence
i. ThinkBig – Thursdays 10 am at Micklefield Green House
contact Julia Lawrence (260504)
ii. Nobbs` Homegroup– Tuesdays 8.00 pm at Rivendell, Kings Lane, Chipperfield, contact David Nobbs (269480)
b. coming to Wednesday morning communion where after the simple service there will be opportunity for coffee and time to discuss the Gospel reading.
c. Form your own little group of friends to meet at your own convenience. Why not ask two or three people to join you at home at a mutually convenient time?
Quiet Garden
On Tuesdays 23 Feb and 16 March between 10 and 12.00 noon all are welcome at Minstead, Red Lion Lane, Sarratt, the home of Edna and Robin Gain, to be quiet before God together.
