A rather late happy new year to you all – and we hope you are feeling energised and optimistic as you embark on 2017. As we didn't have any newsletters over the Christmas period, we hope you noticed our last-minute new all-age Epiphany download. We also have some downloads for use on Homelessness Sunday (January 22nd) and during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 18th-25th). Photo © David Coleman |
New download for Epiphany |
Digital download: An all-age service for starting a new year, focusing on the Magi’s visit to Jesus and the amazing gifts they brought, and how to choose a gift for God for the coming year – a kind of new year’s resolution from the heart. Includes a story about Sherman the dog and a short activity involving paper hearts. |
New downloads for Homelessness Sunday |
Digital download: Reflections on homelessness and about finding Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit in down-to-earth places. Neil’s stories and poems come from his experience of working in homeless shelters in North America and Britain, as a nurse’s aide with the elderly and as a mental health worker. From the book Down To Earth, by Neil Paynter. In a world of easy compromises and much false posturing in which the rich, the often corrupt, and the people with power keep telling us how to live and what to strive for, Neil writes about a world where hearts matter and in which vulnerable folk can teach us much. 19 pages |
Digital download: A prayer, a poem, a song (words and music) and a responsive prayer about homelessness, for use on Homelessness Sunday or at any time of the year. From the book Winter: Liturgical resources for November, December and January, by Ruth Burgess. 7 pages |
New download for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity |
Digital download: Prayers, a responsive prayer and a song (words only with suggested tune) for celebrating the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. From the book Winter: Liturgical resources for November, December and January, by Ruth Burgess. 6 pages |
