Christ is risen! Now I’m off to bed This is the (completely understandable)
response of a large number of clergy to t
he arrival of
Easter Sunday. Yet, even more than the
50 days of Lent, the 50 days of Easter should be a time when we focus on reinvigorating
our faith: when we commit time to reflect on our lives, study and pray in
readiness for the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
With this in mind, we and our sister churches in Clapham
decided NOT to run ecumenical study groups during LENT this year but, instead,
to have then in Eastertide.
This Eastertide we will explore together the book of Acts:
the story of what happened to the first ever Christians in the days after
Easter.
Churches Together groups are always fun and enable us to learn
surprising things through getting to know Christians from other churches and
denominations.
There are 6 groups scheduled this year 2 in the morning, 2
in the afternoon and 2 in the evening:
Mornings:
Tuesday 10.30am St Mary’s,
Clapham Common
Thursday 10.30am St Paul’s Rectory Grove
Afternoons:
Wednesday 1.45pm Holy Trinity,
Clapham Common
Thursday 2pm Holy Spirit, Narbonne Ave
Evenings:
Tuesday 8pm Christchurch, Union
Grove
Wednesday 7.30pm Clapham
Methodists, High Street
The course is 5 weeks long and starts the week beginning 29th
April and finishing the week beginning 2nd June
Aha! you will say that is six weeks not five! Yes it is but
there will be no groups meeting in the week beginning 26th May so
that we can join together to celebrate Ascension Day in an open air service in
the garden of St Johns Clapham Road to which everyone is invited: 7.30pm
THURSDAY 29TH MAY.
