Our Lent
Course for 2014 started last night when 40 people gathered in the Barnabas
Centre. The particular course we used, called “Lost for Words” was laid on in
response to people’s request for something that would help them, practically,
to share their faith.
The
explosive growth of the new Testament Church came from the early disciples
following St Peter’s words: “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone
who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with
gentleness and respect,” (1 Peter 3:15)
In this
first session, we explored what reaction the word “evangelism” gave to those
present. We looked at the positive as well as the negative aspects of sharing
our faith with friends, colleagues and family.
We look
forward to learning more in subsequent weeks. If you would like help in sharing
your faith, do join us on Tuesdays at 7.30 p.m. in the Barnabas centre.
