2 Corinthians Ch.5 Vv.14-17 Of all the things we do when we worship God, this one is special, John Ch.20 Vv.1-2,11-18 because it’s the only thing Christ told us to do. We may sing his 6.30pm Zephaniah Ch.3 Vv.14-20 praises, we may listen to the word of God, we may pray together or

27th 10.30am Acts Ch.11 Vv.27-12.2 ST. JAMES That’s why, every year, we take time to reflect on this act that 2 Corinthians Ch.4 Vv. 7-15 binds us to one another and to Jesus. Corpus Christi is the Latin Matthew Ch.20 Vv.20-28 for The body of Christ - the words we use when we receive communion. Each year we keep this feast a short while after 6.30pm No Evensong: Celtic Service at Raskelf Pentecost. When we share the bread and the wine, when we receive them as the body and blood of Christ, we are united together in his BIBLE READING FELLOWSHIP love. Bible reading notes are a good way to get started on reading the Bible. With only a short passage to read each day you do not need to put aside a lot of John Harrison time and the commentaries will help you to understand the passage and apply it to your own life. BRF publishes three different series, for more details please contact Mrs Joan Green on 01347-821389
