In September, we’re serving up an exciting Course which explores the Christian Life through the Lens of the Holy Eucharist. So, if you’re hungry to find out more, read on!
Each Sunday and through the week, we gather to celebrate the Holy Eucharist. It’s at the heart of our life together. But why is it so important, and what does it teach about the Christian Life?
Well, that’s where ‘Bread of Life’ comes in. It’s the start of an amazing journey in getting to know Jesus Christ with a new and deeper understanding.
The course has received considerable investment from The Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament (CBS) and across the Church. This is reflected in the quality of the videos which accompany the course. They have been specially commissioned and filmed in biblical locations such as Jerusalem and across the UK.
There is also an attractive Guest Book, designed to accompany participants through their involvement with Bread of Life (published by SPCK) and on their ongoing faith journey, as well as podcasts and other resources.
A Slice of Life
The course consists of six modules. The first module introduces the Eucharist as the central sacrament of the Christian life by looking at its history, its meaning and its importance to today’s Church. The second module looks at what it means to be reconciled to God, and why we participate in repentance and absolution as preparation for receiving the Eucharist.
As we move through the weeks, the third module explores the importance of Scripture, and we look in detail at the biblical passages that inform our understanding of the Eucharist.
In the last three modules, we appreciate the role of prayer in the Christian life. We will focus on the Lord’s Prayer as the prayer of the Eucharist and as a beautiful pattern of prayer. We will explore what it means to receive Christ in the Eucharist, and finally (as we move on from the course) see why the eucharistic life is missional and outward looking.
