Act on Poverty

A new Lent Course, produced by Christian Aid, Baptist Union, Methodist Church, United Reformed Church, Church Action on Poverty, The Trussell Trust, and others. Together it enables churches and individuals UK-wide to gain a deeper understanding of experiences of poverty, local and global. We’ll be sharing stories of faith and activism that challenge the status quo. And we’ll be offering inspiration for actions big and small that we can all take to tackle poverty together.

Each pack contains:

  • Guidance for a short Bible study
  • Access to audio recordings of conversations featuring anti-poverty practitioners and activists, many with lived experience of poverty in the UK and worldwide
  • Questions and prompts for small group discussion
  • Inspiring videos from churches taking practical action on poverty
  • A guide to simple steps your church can take to advocate for change

You can also use each pack as a standalone session to explore the issues most relevant for you.

Unbounded Love worship guidance

Unbounded Love is the theme of the Lent campaign for the Methodist Church in 2024 – holding together our commitments to be a justice-seeking church, and people who experience and proclaim the good news of God’s uncontainable love.
Sign up for our daily reflection emails and find a range of resources that connect the Gospel readings from the Sunday lectionary throughout Lent to weekly themes, each one a line lifted from Charles Wesley’s hymn “Love divine, all loves excelling”.

Resources for churches include a poster, ideas for either Sunday services or small groups, and a social media campaign pointing people to local churches.

Dundee Methodists Gathering

The next gathering will be by zoom at 7 pm on Wednesday 31st January.

Jenny E. will be pleased to know of any items for proposal to the East of Scotland Church Council in February, plus topics for our own discussion, conversation, or general socialising.

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

A warm invitation is extended to the Service marking the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity at 6.30 pm next Sunday in Broughty Ferry Baptist Church (premises in Panmurefield at 154 Lawers Drive DD5 3TZ).

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Octave is held globally each year, usually observed between 18th and 25th January, based on material prepared by churches from one country or region.

This year’s theme is entitled ‘Go and do likewise’ focussing on a verse (Luke 10, 27) from the story of The Good Samaritan and using material offered by Christians in the Catholic Archdiocese of Ouagadougou, Protestant Churches, and ecumenical bodies in Burkina Faso.

See the booklet, which contains daily readings and reflections.

Dundee Worship 3rd December 2023

On Sunday 3rd December we are unable to meet at Roseangle because of the Art Exhibition.  As such, after discussion with Segun, we have arranged to meet in the white Dens Road church on the corner of Dens Road and Arthurstone Terrace.  There is on street parking behind the church on Cunningham Street.  The heating doesn’t work well so please wear warm clothing.  There are toilets and a kitchen so we can have a cuppa.    Segun and myself will lead the service together.
