FOUR DISCUSSIONS TO AID US, LEAPING INTO THE GOSPEL OF LUKE

From Advent 2024 we enter Year C in the Lectionary cycle of readings for Sundays, therefore we will be using the Gospel of Luke overall. 

Father Paul, Alan Harris and John Buck felt it would be good to discuss Luke’s gospel, we wish to base our background thinking on Tom Wright’s book “Luke for Everyone”. There will be four discussion sessions: the first will be an overview of the gospel and the others will be discussions (2-4) where we draw out some specific aspects of Luke’s interpretation of Jesus’s life and ministry.

We intend to offer afternoon/evening Discussion Groups. You can attend to one of them or all of them depending on your diary.  For the autumn they will happen in John's home, Church House or The Rectory

AFTERNOON DISCUSSION

John is kindly offered to host the afternoon discussion at his home. He is flexible on the day the discussion happens. If you want to attend the afternoon, we are suggesting from 2-4 pm; can you tell Fr. Paul your preferred day and second-choice day?  Can you do this ASAP? We then go with the majority. There will be a sign-up sheet this Sunday (Sept 1st) in church.

EVENING DISCUSSION

Fr. Paul will host the evening discussion at The Rectory, each discussion will run from 7-9 pm. There will be a maximum of 10 who can attend, Because of his diary commitments, he can only offer: 

(1) Tuesday 22 October   (2) Tuesday 29 October 

(3) Tuesday 12 November  (4) Tuesday 19 November

 Email Fr. Paul or there will be a sign-up sheet this Sunday (Sept 1st) in church.
