The
Christian Gospel is earthed. Jesus shared the Good News
with people in his own place and time, over an area about the
same size as our Diocese. If that is what the Gospel looked like
there and then, what does it mean for us here and now?
Overview
Suffolk Postcards is a Diocesan resource for Lent 2009, written
by lay and ordained people from the Diocese. It’s about
having a conversation between the Gospel and Suffolk today. Six
Postcards, one for each week in Lent, bring together the set Sunday
Gospel readings with colourful images of life in Suffolk. Resources
are provided for discussion, reflection and prayer. They are available
on paper or electronically.
Ways
to use Postcards
Churches often have their own activities in Lent, so Postcards
is designed to fit alongside them. You can access the material
and use it in a variety of ways.

Use the prayers for intercessions on Sundays
Run a 6 session study group, or away-day
Show the pictures and text on a big screen and preach about
them
Give congregation members a postcard each week to ponder at
home
Leader’s
Notes and suggestions for using Postcards as a congregation or
group, or individually, are provided.
