This year’s Lenten study will focus on the Beatitudes (Matt 5.3-12). Please contact the office if you are interested in participating, so we can ensure we have enough copies for everyone.

Group 1 meets weekly on Thursdays at 10am.

Following on from the "Turning to Christ" Pilgrim study we did last year, The Beatitudes (Matt 5.3-12) are a short but profoundly beautiful and influential collection of sayings by Jesus. They sum up his teaching about what it means to live as a child of God's kingdom. This course believes that following Jesus requires us to engage with this important text, so that it is restored to a central place in the life of the Church. We believe that the Beatitudes, and trying to live them out, is one of the best ways of loving God with all your heart and understanding the Christian vision for the world: including openness to God, thirsting for what is right, peace making and living as citizens of God's Kingdom. Contributors include Helen Ann Hartley, Emma Ineson, and Martin Warner.
