A Feast for Lent

A Feast for Lent

Dear Friends,

Happy Ash Wednesday!  Today the Church starts its long journey to Calvary where we walk with Jesus to the Cross – and beyond!

As ever we have an array of resources to help us as we worship.

This week’s Worship Notes have been prepared by the Revd Dr Susan Durber.  Susan offers a beautiful range of prayers, an all-age talk, notes on Psalm 25 and the passage set from St Mark’s Gospel inviting us to ponder where the Kingdom of God has come near and the role of repentance in this.  If you’d rather not use the intercessions Susan prepared some months ago then Kirsty Mabbott, a Church Related Community Worker has provided intercessions for Sunday.  These can be found above the Worship Notes here.  

URC Minister David Coleman works as chaplain to Eco Congregations Scotland and has provided videos for each week of Lent to encourage ecological discipleship.  You can see his material here.

Congregations always wish to involve children and young people in worship more.  Our Children and Youth Work Team have provided these prayer prompts which can be downloaded to encourage younger members of the congregation to lead prayers.  They are very good and free!  

With every good wish

Andy
