17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Join us this week as we find out a bit more about the Bible and explore Matthew's Gospel. If you've got a Bible then it'd be great to have one with you. If you're looking for a great family Bible - there are some links to some we recommend below.

BIBLES FOR YOUR FAMILY

This is a really good Bible for the whole family and is the Bible that we use at church, for youth groups and courses and is the one Aseel is using in this week's family liturgy.

Aimed at 12 - 18 years olds this Bible includes space for journaling and was developed in colaboration with young people,

Great for 8-11 year olds. Includes crafts, experiments and bakes, to help children explore and engage with the Bible.

This includes lots of beautiful images and straightforward language to help introduce your 3-7 year old's to the Bible.

During this difficult and unusual time for all families, we wanted to provide some online resources to help you keep faith alive at home. Below is our archive of resources from previous weeks. If you would like the resources for this Sunday please click the button below.
