Advent Course - Week 3

So here we are with the third week of our Advent Course and again the numbers keep creeping up! 

As always, we start with the Acts 2.32 - 47 passage as a reminder of what, and why, we are doing.

By which time we had focussed on so many of the things that make us sad at the state on humanity and the sinfulness and cruelty that is reality (As one person put it, "The Bible reports the stuff and we then need to learn from it and respond differently.") and the sadness of human nature.

So we watched this and took heart from the kindness and generosity of others:

And, as always, we asked questions - discussed stuff in our groups - shared our thoughts and considered where our response to it all could mirror God's love and provision:

And WoW, was it a great discussion!!!

So there they were, thinking, reflecting, asking questions and wondering what they could do.

So we sent them home to make it theirs with a few pointers:

And we all prayed this one with a bit of passion thrown in (how unAnglican!).
