FOR THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT LENT COURSE

Studying the Bible is an adventure! When we study the Bible, the chances are, we find ourselves being studied by the whispers of God’s Spirit to the depths of our souls.
Christians, for many generations, have used the season of Lent as a time for Bible study. Lent is a journey that begins with Ash Wednesday, when we confront our mortality and our simple need of God. It concludes at the foot of the cross, from which we are then grasped by the joy and grace of Easter Day.
In 2021, our journey through Lent will be a roaming through Paul’s letter to the Romans. We will focus on the first half, the first eight chapters.

DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT LENT 2021
In summary, there is an opportunity for:
- A Daily Devotional reading plan. We have outlined in the information (linked above), and on this page (below), a schedule of short readings from Romans 1-8 for each day of Lent.

- Reading and Reflecting. There are a number of good books and commentaries that you might find useful to use. We recommend getting Tom Wright’s Paul for Everyone: Romans Part 1. We are using this book as a basis for a lot of the aspects of our journey.
- A Lent Course. We will be running weekly sessions on Wednesday evenings during Lent – on zoom or in-person as regulations allow – for extra input and conversation.

If you would like to join us on this journey, it would be great to hear from you. Even if all you can commit to is the daily devotional readings, it would be great to know. We would love to pray for you during this time.
If you’re having difficulty accessing a Bible or purchasing any of the resource books, we are able to help. Do be in touch.
If you would like to be a part of the Wednesday Evening course we will need to know if you’re coming. If we can meet in-person we will need to manage numbers. If we meet online we will need to be able to send you zoom links and other details.
The talks from Wednesdays and Sundays will be uploaded to a youtube playlist here: http://thevinesheffield.org.uk/roam2021videos. They will also be made available on audio here: http://thevinesheffield.org.uk/podcast
