Greetings Folks!

This has been a very busy week and so I have had little time to reflect on the journey of faith. I wanted to let you know that I am not planning a Lenten Gathering learning time. I am offering you resources that you can access online, or you may pick up at Worship on Ash Wednesday or at
Worship on Feb. 18th. I am hopeful that I can proceed without "Lent in a Bag" It is a bag that offers you resources to reflect upon through the Season of Lent.
You will find below a number of resources that you may access online. I am sure one of them might be a"fit" for you!
Lenten Resource Sources -
 Church of England - Watch + Pray Lent Reflections
(churchofengland.org)
 Living Compass - livingcompass.org/living well through Lent
2024 - Practising Forgiveness with all your heart, soul, strength,
and mind.
 Anglican Diocese of Calgary - Bread for the Journey: A Series of
Thursday evening offerings through an online connection.
Access this material through - contact Diocesan Office to gain

 BuildingFaith.org - this Lent add instead of Subtract

I hope that this material and the material you may pick up at Church or at the Church Office will assist you as we journey through Lent to our Easter Celebration.

In Christ, Bryan +

Learn how to do the Inductive Bible Study Method.
An Inductive Bible study is a method of studying the Bible that allows you to
discover for yourself what Scripture says and what it means, ...

The Inductive method makes observations on a passage of Scripture and then draws
conclusions based on those observations. What does it say? what does it mean? and
what does it mean to me?

Let us know if are you interested in meeting 3 times for 1 1/2 hour each time to
explore the Inductive Bible Study method.
