Jesus Shaped People

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

This short explainer outlines how we have gone about preparing to create new resources for churches now living with the Covid19 backdrop. In the meantime please see our 2 short reflections around themes that have emerged from this crisis, one on ‘Loss’ and the other around ‘Discovery’. They can be used via a Church Facebook Page, or a Zoom meeting, or part of a Sunday service, and include key questions for interaction and discussion.

This is a short reflection for churches or small groups tackling a theme around the Covid 19 crisis. It includes key questions for interaction and discussion. Please let us know if you use it or if it was helpful - nb please ignore 'Loss' on the video title, its about 'Discovery'!

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.
