Lent Course
As part of our Year of the Environment in 2011, we’d like to invite your church to join in with our Diocesan Lent Course.
"Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" consists of 5 sessions, looking at issues of faith and the environment through the story of a loaf of bread.
The sessions will contain:
1) Thought-provoking information on environmental issues through a DVD and written material
2) Biblical passages with commentary
3) Practical ways in which people can change their behaviour to help our environment.
4) Imaginative ideas for reflection and prayer
The course comes in two versions:
1) A booklet for leaders, with DVD, the participants’ text, additional notes for leaders and ideas for worship.
2) A shorter booklet for participants, with text for the five week course.
The course is being produced by the Revd Dr Gavin Wakefield (Director of Training, Mission and Ministry), the Revd Canon Richard Rowling (the Archbishop's Advisor on Rural Affairs) the Ven Paul Ferguson (Archdeacon of Cleveland) and the Revd Rachel Hirst (Training Adviser for the York Archdeaconry).
We hope you will this course helpful, fun and challenging as you join in with our Diocesan commitment to the environment.
"Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" costs £3 for the leaders’ booklet and DVD, and 50p for the participants booklet.
