LENT COURSE 2018 “To the Angel of The Church Write” - The Seven Churches of Revelation
This year, for our Lent course, we will be looking at the 7 letters, to 7 different Churches, which form the first section of St John’s “Revelation.” Each letter conveys a particular message (encouragement and challenge) from the Jesus of John’s vision to one of the Churches. What was the message for them 2000 years ago, and what does
it say to us today?? There will be 4 sessions on Tuesday evenings during Lent, 7.30pm to 9.00pm in
Number 28. Week 1 : 27/02 Introduction & Ephesus (Revelation 2 : 1 to 7) Week 2 : 06/03 Smyrna & Pergamum (Revelation 2 : 12 to 28)
Week 3 : 13/03 Thyatira & Sardis (Revelation 2 : 18 to 3 : 6) Week 4 : 20/03 Philadelphia & Laodicea (Revelation 3 : 7 to 22)
Do come and join us as we explore this portion of the Bible together and see what Jesus might have to say to the Angel of the Church in Middlewich!
