Daily Reflections: 'Draw Near'

Each week a different contributor explores a different aspect of Christian discipleship: worshipping together, praying, exploring the Bible, sharing communion, offering service and sharing the good news with others. To receive these reflections, download the ‘Everyday Faith’ app, or sign up here for a daily email.

Alternatively, booklets will be available at the back of Church from Sunday 8th February. We ask for a donation of £3, which can be left in the basket by the booklets on a Sunday or Wednesday morning (not to the office, please.)

Lent Course:

‘Lord, teach us how to Pray’

Wednesdays at 7.45pm, in the Holt Room.

February 25th, March 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th

Lots of Christians struggle with prayer; we may feel that we don’t pray ‘properly,’ or maybe don’t know where to start. In these sessions we will explore the nature of prayer, and try out some prayer practices, some of which may be familiar, and some which may be new to us. There will not a be a Zoom option for the group this time.

Churches Together Lent Services:

‘The Passion through Matthew's Gospel’

Wednesdays at 1.00pm, Bunyan Meeting Church

February 25th, March 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th

We meet to worship with our friends from across the denominations in Bedford, to worship and reflect together on Matthew's telling of the Passion of Christ.
