‘Exploring the Gospels’
A series of discussion evenings
Weekly from Tuesday 28 February, 8pm

Last autumn we held a series of discussion evenings to consider the relevance of the Old Testament to our lives today. Building on that, as our Lent studies this year, we’ll look at the four Gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  

‘Exploring the Old Testament’
A series of discussion evenings

As we struggle with the complexities and challenges of 21st century life, does our faith suggest how we should live? Is the Bible, and particularly the Old Testament, still a source of inspiration, raising new questions as well as providing ancient wisdom?

Lenten Discussion Group

This year’s Lenten Discussion Group will explore the Archbishop of Canterbury’s 2022 Lent Book. The volume, entitled ‘Embracing Justice’, is by the Revd Dr Isabelle Hamley, Theological Adviser to the House of Bishops. 

For those interested in helping with Sunday services we have arranged chalice training with a visiting minister, Brian Prothero.  It will take place at Christ Church on Saturday 11 May at 10am. 

New to the bible or want to go deeper? The eight session Bible Course is for you.  It will begin on Tuesday 5 June, 7.30pm to 9pm at Christ Church, and will continue every Tuesday until Tuesday 24 July. The course will show how the key books, famous characters and epic events form one BIG story, from Genesis to Revelation. The course also provides tools and skills that help apply the Bible to everyday life. Register at https://www.esherparish.org.uk/?q=content/bible-course.

An original, innovative and lively Lent Course inspired by the film Chocolat, based on the bestselling novel by Joanne Harris.  

Using the film as a starting point for exploring issues about God, the world, and what it means to be human, there are five group sessions. Each session included extracts from the film, group discussion questions, exercises and meditations, suggestions for individual reading and related Bible passages. The book also includes appendices on the curious history of chocolate, the unfair economics of chocolate and ideas for a chocolate feast.
