Hello and welcome to worship this week.

We won’t be presenting our own online service this week but it’s a great opportunity to join in with other services online or to take the time to follow a written or more reflective type of worship. Here are some ideas:

YouTube Service produced by the Yorkshire North & East Methodist District

This service for the Second Sunday of Lent is led by Revd Leslie Newton, District Chair. It can be accessed at   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjFLG98xOKE&t=71s  or www.yorkshirenemethodist.org/district-services/.

Dial a Sermon

For those unable to access the Circuit YouTube service online, you can use “Dial a sermon” – an audio recording of the most recent readings and sermon is now available by telephone.  Dial 01904 948409 and, after a short delay (20 seconds), the audio file will play (usually around 10-15 minutes long).  You will be charged as for a local call according to your current phone package.

Children’s Resources

The children’s resource sheets for today are based on Mark 8:31-38 and explore the story of Jesus predicting his own death. Access them here.

Written services

If you prefer to use a written service to guide your worship and reflections, Helen’s written service is based on Mark 8: 31-38 and can be accessed here.

The Circuit have also prepared a written service, which can be accessed here.
