Welcome to Rule of Life

Harvest is a special time in the life of many churches. The fruit and food and flowers in church remind us of the good things God has given to us. We often share a Harvest Supper together to celebrate God’s abundance. We come together in worship to say thank you. And we give, food and money, to extend a loving hand to those in our community and beyond who feel the sharp sting of hunger and loss.

Join Bishop John in this year’s Summer Challenge reading the Acts of Apostles. Sign up to this course and you will receive weekly emails encouraging you in your reading. The Acts of the Apostles is about the life, ministry and mission of the Church. May we be inspired and challenged by the life and work of the first Christians. Find out more about the challenge and how you can get involved.

Our Lent Challenge follows the Church of England’s #LiveLent theme for 2022, Embracing Justice. Based around the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent book, written by Isabelle Hamley, the theme remembers the cry of the Prophet Isaiah: ‘Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice?’ calling us to reflect on the injustices of the world and ask what God is calling us to do about them. Here we have videos reflecting on the six themes and an invitation to join Liverpool Cathedral's discussions on each topices

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.
