St Mary’s, Buriton - The Twelve Disciples: Seeing Jesus through their eyes

Kesher Course

This is five sessions, each consisting of two 45 minute teaching slots using a DVD
and course book - two hours per session with a refreshment break between and a short
time of discussion at the end.

Kesher is a Hebrew word meaning 'connection'. It explores the connection between Judaism, Christianity, Israel and the Church. Very helpful for people to understand something of what is going on in the Middle East today. The first half of the course is a Bible study on the Lord Jesus; the second half gives a historical perspective, but with many references to scripture

The Salvation Army, Petersfield

Captain Barrie Cox from The Salvation Army will once again be leading a series of studies based on the early Christian church and the letters of Paul. This will take place at the Salvation Army Hall on Sunday evenings during the lent period, and will commence at 6.30 pm.

St Peter’s - Encounters : The Creed

We say it every week, but we don’t often get to look at what it means, and why it matters. What does it mean that Jesus was ‘eternally begotten of the Father’? Who are ‘the quick and the dead’? Are we part of ’one holy catholic and apostolic Church’?

This year’s course will be an opportunity to discuss all these things and more.

Each session will run twice, firstly on Friday at 12:00 noon in St Peters Church, and then on the next Tuesday at 7:30pm at the Vicarage.

All Saints’, Steep and High Cross, Froxfield

The two parishes of Froxfield and Steep are offering an evening Lent Course using the newly published course produced by the Church of England, called 'Pilgrim', and the course focuses on The Lord's Prayer. Drop in for one session or attend more; we think it will be of interest and relevance for today.

Frontline Studies: Life on the Frontline

This creative and practical small group resource is a six-session DVD series for small groups seeking to help one another live fruitfully and faithfully for Christ in the daily places of life and work. Each session has a short film, discussion material, Bible reflections and stories illustrating how the principles have been worked out in real life. We may be old or young; healthy or infirm; rich or poor; employed or not. We may be busy or bored; optimistic or pessimistic; radically cutting edge or relatively retro. Whoever we are, as Christians, we have at least one thing in common: we each have a Frontline.

• Your Frontline: the place where you spend much of your time
• Your Frontline: the place where you meet people who don’t know Jesus
• Your Frontline: the place God has called you
• Your Frontline: the place of possibility and potential

Often though, we don’t see ourselves, our workplaces homes, colleges and clubs in this light. But what might God want to do where we are day by day? How might he use us? How will we grow?

The sessions are:

1. The Frontline Call – What is my Frontline and why does it matter?
2. The Frontline Commission – What happens when life on our Frontline feels difficult?
3. The Frontline Community – How do all our various church activities equip us for our lives when we are apart?
4. The Frontline Concern – How do you know what to do on your Frontline?
5. The Frontline Cry – How does our Frontline shape our prayers?
6. The Frontline Commitment – How can we sustain our commitment to one another on the Frontline?
