Some suggestions for Lent courses 2023

Rev Andrew Sankey is hosting an on-line Lent Course on Option 1 and is prepared to run an “in person” course also on Option 1 – subject to an invitation (please see his letter at the beginning of Ipswich Round).  There are 3 other great courses some might like to explore and he is happy to help.  Let him know what you choose.

Option 1      Holy Habits: Following Jesus (Ideal for Lent)by Rev Andrew Roberts
Building on the Book “Holy Habits”

The course doesn’t require you to have read the book – but I would give a copy of the study book to each leader of the group  “Holy Habits: Following Jesus” also by Andrew Roberts and print the key thought and questions for reflection for all attendees, (on zoom, I will project them)

  • Jesus guided by scripture
  • Jesus Serving with gladness
  • Jesus sharing bread
  • Jesus praying
  • Jesus making disciples
  • Generous under pressure
