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 ‘Desert Fathers’ which are taken from the Aidan series in Celtic Daily Prayer Book 1. The reflections are the sayings of the Desert Fathers and Mothers and remind us of our roots in a place apart from the mainstream – the desert. These scripture readings will also be shown on our website.
Our Evening Prayer will use the reflections ‘The Sermon on the Mount’ which are taken from the Eata readings in Celtic Daily Prayer Book 2. These reflections are based on the dreams and times of seeking God experienced by three women as they walked with Jesus through the words he gave us on that mountainside.
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.
