Welcome to Rule of Life

The Summer Reading Challenge has been a popular part of the Rule of Life as together we have read and reflected on scripture. Previous challenges saw us reading Jonah and the Psalms. This year we reading 1 Peter. We will be reading five chapters over five weeks starting Monday 26th July. Miranda Threlfall-Holmes (Rector St Lukes in the City) was asked to guide us through this year’s challenge with a series of videos exploring some of the themes.

Join Archdeacon Simon in this year’s Summer Challenge reading the book of Psalms together. Sign up to this course and you will receive weekly emails encouraging you in your reading. The Psalms are the hymnbook and the prayerbook of the Temple, and of the Church. In these 150 songs the Psalmist explores the whole range of human experience, with all its highs and lows, of human life lived in the presence of God, and sometimes the experience of the apparent absence of God too. Find out more about the challenge and how you can get involved.

We have produced some resources to help children's groups from 3 to 11 take part in the Bring One Friend challenge

This year we are challenging every member of every congregation to Bring One Friend to an advent, Christmas or epiphany service. This course helps you go step by step through the challenge as together we build a bigger church by bringing one friend.

This year we reading 1 Peter. We will be reading five chapters over five weeks starting today, Monday 26th July.

Join us this Summer as we read 1 Peter together.
