In June, both at Nether Springs and in our online contexts, we are using two sets of readings each day.
The scripture readings for Morning Prayer will support our reflections on ‘The Sermon on the Mount’ which are taken from the Eata series in ‘Celtic Daily Prayer’, volume 2. The reflections are stories, experiences, and little pieces of wisdom which emerged from a remarkable year-long engagement with these scriptures by three women. The scripture readings will also be shown on our website.
Our Evening Prayer will use the readings ‘The Wisdom of the Desert Fathers’ which are taken from the Colman series in ‘Celtic Daily Prayer’, volume 2. The reflections centre on the lives of the Desert Fathers, the very first monks, who fled into the deserts of Egypt, Palestine and Syria from the third century onwards.
Even though we will be using these readings, please do explore the other sets of readings in our prayer books, which you might find more pertinent to you during the month.
