Up & Coming Events

Our Melton Team Parish Lent Course this year will use York Courses material by Dr Jane Williams.  Each of the 5 sessions will include a short video, Bible study, discussion and prayer – and refreshments.

Acknowledging that the sacraments can seem confusing, divisive or (frankly!) incomprehensible, Jane Williams reveals them to be a glorious expression of God’s love for the world in all its beauty and brokenness. The sacraments invite us to enter into the mystery that the world has meaning and purpose and that all things come together in Jesus. If we are willing, in loving response, to become part of the action ourselves, we will surely find ourselves refreshed and our discipleship reinvigorated.

Jane Williams is the McDonald Professor in Christian Theology at St Mellitus College, London, and a visiting Lecturer at King’s College London. On each video she is joined by Dr Sharon Prentis, Deputy Director of the Racial Justice Unit, and Professor James Walters, Founding Director of LSE (London School of Economics and Political Science) Faith Centre, as they discuss the themes of the course in an engaging and accessible way.

All are welcome to join us in St Mary’s Church, Melton Mowbray at  7.30pm on the following Monday evenings:

Session 1 – 17th March ~ What is a sacrament?

Session 2 – 24th March ~ God loves creation

Session 3 – 31st March ~ Jesus-shaped sacraments

Session 4 – 7th April ~ Sacraments of presence in a broken world

Session 5 – 14th April ~ Sacraments as a pledge of the Holy Spirit

This Course would also provide preparation for anyone considering Confirmation. At a Confirmation Service, those being confirmed publicly express their commitment to follow Jesus Christ, and through prayers and the laying on of hands by the Bishop, the Church asks God to give them the power of the Holy Spirit to live the Christian life.
