Jesus Shaped People

What is Jesus Shaped People?

Want to motivate your whole church for mission and service? Jesus Shaped People is a comprehensive and all-embracing programme, with resources for adults, children and young people. It can benefit a wide spectrum of churches from different traditions and contexts, especially smaller urban, inner city, social housing estate churches, churches with few or no children or young people, or churches without a Vicar or Minister. For an in-depth introduction, you can download the JSP summary leaflet.

Take Time and Thy Kingdom Come

Posted on: 20 May 2020

This year 'Thy Kingdom Come' is highly appropriate as Christians give special time to pray in the current Pandemic. JSP has recently become aware of a series of very 'Jesus Shaped' Ignatian style meditations entitled 'TakeTime'. We warmly recommend personal use of these during the ten days from Ascension Day to Pentecost. You can find them at https://mailchi.mp/19408e1baa25/taketimetaketimeorguk-3483854

Thy Kingdom Come and Jesus Shaped People

Ascension Day, May 21st to Pentecost, May 31st 2020

The current global crisis is inspiring people to cry out, 'Lord teach us to pray'. This year 'Thy Kingdom Come' can be adopted with greater passion and purpose, as we seek for the Holy Spirit to renew us in the resurrection life of Jesus. At JSP we're glad to warmly encourage this.

Perhaps you would like to make this a special period for prayer? These downloadable resources can help inform and shape our prayers
