PracticeEach Sunday the readings and sermon will address a particular area. You are encouraged to consider those readings and sermon during the following week and to use the resources in this booklet to examine your own discipleship in the light of them. In addition the booklet contains more resources for your reflection and normally some questions for self-examination. You are encouraged to pencil in your response each week and then to revisit it at the end of the programme to ink in what you have decided will be part of your ‘Rule of Life’ after further reflection.
PeopleAll your responses will be personal to you. The teaching of Jesus is that, for example, our prayer life and our giving are to be secret and not the subject of boasting. However, you may find it helpful to seek the advice of others in developing your ‘holy habits’. A Christian friend or a fellow member of your housegroup might be appropriate. Also the clergy will be only too happy to discuss any of these issues with you. Our numbers are below. Also we are going to be offering a ‘Pastoral Office’ where one of us will be available in the Interview Room in the Parish Centre on a Tuesday between 6.00pm and 7.15pm where you can get some ‘expert’ advice.
