The launch night of our two projects for Lent will take place at Winchburgh Church, this Wednesday evening, 25th February, at 7pm and 8pm.
Anyone interested in the Exploring Prayer group is welcome to come along at 7pm. This group will continue for the five following Wednesdays also at 7pm. People are welcome to come to all six evenings, or just to attend as few as one.
There will be refreshments at 8pm, and anyone who wants to stay on for the start of the Labyrinth project at that time will be very welcome. But so too are those who only want to come to the Labyrinth project - please just come along on Wednesday at 8pm.
The Labyrinth project will be to create craftwork and artwork to represent around 10 to 12 scenes from the last week of Jesus' life leading up to his glorious resurrection that first Easter. People can work together in groups or individually.
So far the twelve scenes listed below have been selected, but these have not been finalised yet. Come along and tell us what you think.
Palm Sunday, Cleansing the Temple, Withered Fig Tree, Last Supper, Washing of Feet, Garden of Gethsemane, Betrayal, Denial, Trial under Pilate, Road to Calvary, Crucifixion, Resurrection.
Dates, times, and venues, for future Labyrinth meetings have not yet been decided. Come along and tell us when you want them to be!
The Exploring Prayer group will meet on the following dates at 7pm to explore a range of topics and ideas to help develop our prayer experience. There will be practical portions, as well as presentation and discussion.
Week 1 - 25th February - Stepping out: try praying.
Week 2 - 4th March - Why is prayer so hard?
Week 3 - 11th March - Prayer is more than petition
Week 4 - 18th March - Does Prayer change things?
Week 5 - 25th March - Growing in Prayer
Week 6 - 1st April - Open Forum: Looking towards Easter
As the weeks go by this Blog page will be updated with summaries of the Prayer weeks, the work on the Labyrinth project, and other reflections on Lent.
Jean, Marion, and I, hope that you will be able to take part in some of these occasions. If you have any questions then please contact one of us, or leave a comment below.
If you know of anyone else who might be interested in either of these Lent projects then please make sure they know the appropriate information.
