Lenten Study Leadership: Are you willing to lead a Lenten Study?
Please contact Rev Graeme with day and me.
Lenten Study: This year our Lent study will commence on the week of
the Monday 16 February.
The book is called “God is the God of Life.” It is no accident that the
great “I Am” sayings of Jesus include the very staples of living: bread
and water. And it is not an idle thing that we are invited at Holy Communion to feed on Christ spiritually, in our hearts, by faith with
thanksgiving. God desires us to live Christ-like lives.
Lent has tradionally been a special season in the growth and development of a Chrisan’s life. Through looking carefully into our outer and
inner lives, with reflecon and repentance, we find renewal. The Holy
Spirit takes our prayers, thoughts, quesons and study me, and
shapes our lives to deeper discipleship.
A special focus on God’s work in us that enables us to experience life
in its fullness is explored in each of these five studies:
Study One: Creator of Life
Study Two: Promiser of Life
Study Three: Sustainer of Life
Study Four: Rescuer of Life
Study Five: Renewer of Life
Study Six (Holy Week) ‘Ruler of Life’ is published on the web site.
Cost is $10.00 per book. Each person should have a book for each
study period.
Please register in the Community Room.
The Seasons of Our Church
I have been asked a few mes about the seasons of the church and their colours.
The different colours are drawn from creaon to remind those parcipang
in a liturgy of the different blessings of God. The colours used are white (or
gold), purple (or violet), green, red and rose pink.
White:
White (or gold), since it is a fesve, joyful colour, is used during
the Christmas and Easter seasons, and on major feast days, such as, on the
celebraons of the Lord other than of his Passion, of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
of the Holy Angels, and of Saints who were not martyrs, and on the Solemnies of All Saints. Because white symbolises the Resurrecon, it is also the
colour o/en used for funerals.
Purple:
Purple (or violet) symbolises repentance and penance. Vestments of purple or violet are used during the seasons of Advent and Lent.
The colour reminds us of the violet flower that bows its head and is a symbol
of humility. Lent is the season of prayer, fasng and almsgiving. It is a quiet
season of reflecon. The colour of Advent is more of a rose-purple, like the
sky just before sunrise. This is the me of year when the Church waits in joyful hope to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the light of the world.
Purple or violet dye was very expensive. An early Chrisan, Lydia from Thyara, made her living from the purple dye trade and was able to support St
Paul in his missionary work (Acts 16: 14-15).
Green:
Green is a sign of life in nature and as such it represents growth,
life and hope. Green is the colour worn most o/en during liturgies in Ordinary Time. It symbolises the graces that draw people into the life of God.
Most of the Church's year is Ordinary Time.
Red:
Red symbolises both blood and fire. It is the colour that is used
on Passion (Palm) Sunday, Pentecost Sunday, and for celebraons of the Sacrament of Confirmaon. It is also the colour that has tradionally been associated with martyrs – those who have shed their blood for their faith – and
so it is worn on the feast days of martyrs.
Rose Pink: Rose pink is an oponal colour that may be used on the Third
Sunday of Advent and the Fourth Sunday of Lent. On both of these days, the
Entrance Anphon calls us to rejoice, so the pink vestments mark a so/ening
of the penitenal tone of the season.
