Light for the Lectionary

We published our last edition of Light for the Lectionary in July - September 2010 and we're pleased to announce the arrival of a brand new All-Age Lectionary product that starts on Advent Sunday (28th November 2010) - All Age Lectionary Services Year A.

So, to bridge the gap between the two products, we've provided a FREE taster of the new All-Age Lectionary Services Year A with a service for each sunday in October and November. You can download the taster here:All-Age Lectionary Services Annual Free Taster (PDF)

Coming up in Light for the Lectionary/All-Age Lectionary Services Year A

3 OCTOBER
Timothy did not find it easy to face up to the prospect of suffering for his faith. Paul uses various arguments to encourage him not to run away from his commission. This outline offers lots of practical ideas on how to encourage each other to stay faithful to Jesus.

10 OCTOBER
In the story from Luke’s Gospel, Jesus heals ten men from leprosy but only one comes back to thank him. This outline explores how Jesus has set us free from the power of sin and how our response needs to be one of gratitude to him for transforming our lives.

17 OCTOBER
Paul urges Timothy not to give up in his task of teaching others faithfully the truth about God, even though they may not want to hear it. This outline encourages us to persist in our dependence upon God and in being faithful in prayer and engagement with Scriptures.

24 OCTOBER
In Luke 18:9–14 the Pharisee looks down on the tax collector, yet fails to recognise how he has failed God. Paul, on the other hand, gives glory to God, and does not boast about his own achievements. The outline includes a drama: Runner or Winner?
