All of Life: A course exploring real life and real faith inspired by Call the Midwife
(part of the God on TV series)
by Bryony Taylor (Author), Mother Rebecca Amoroso and David Twomey (Author)
All of Life is an inspiring Christian course based on the much-loved BBC television drama Call the Midwife. Over the course of five weekly sessions, it offers church study groups and individuals a new way of engaging with God and profound questions around who we are and why we’re here. The course helps us to think about and discuss these possible themes:
Liturgy and Prayer, with a reflection by George Guiver
Disability and Ability, with a reflection by Katie Tupling
Windrush, with a reflection by Chine McDonald
Vocation and Calling, with a reflection by Frances Wilson
Living with Death, with a reflection by Juliet Stephenson
Dates: Wednesdays Feb 25, March 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th
Each evening
7pm a lite meal (optional)
7:30 Study
8:40a short service of Compline
Each session opens with a suggested Call the Midwife clip to watch, and is followed by an appropriate Bible reading, questions for discussion, and suggestions for helpful prayers and group activities. This book contains notes to help group leaders guide participants through the session in an inclusive and stimulating way.
Our evenings will close with the short service of Compline. This will be candlelit and held in the seats behind the altar.
