Renewal of marriage vow
On Sunday, May 30th, there will be an opportunity during the service for all married couples to renew their marriage vows. This will happen in the context of a service of praise and prayer. We are writing to all couples who have been married in Lyon in the past 10 years to invite them to come back and join us that day. Many couples live far away, and we shall pray for them by name.


Prière, Pain, Pomme
Lent meetings: Prière, pain, pomme Ecumenical activity in Lyon is not confined to the semaine de prière pour l’unite. There is a mine of information about ecumenical activity in Lyon on the Diocesan web-site at http://cdo-lyon.cef.fr/ During Lent there are weekly ecumenical prayer meetings in the Gerland-Guillotière area, with prayer from 12.30pm-1.00pm, followed by a simple lunch of bread and an apple from 1.00-1.30pm. The first meeting is at the Armenian Apostolic church, at 295 rue André Philip, in the 3ème, on Friday, February 19th.


Music in Lyon Anglican Church
Music is an important part of our church life. It has the capacity to touch parts of our spiritual world that words don't easily reach. Our services on Sunday morning usually start with a time of singing and praise, led by instrumentalists and singers from the church Music Group. Much of our singing is from Mission Praise. But we are always interested in extending our repertoire, and in finding hymnody and worship songs that reflect the diversity of the church community. If you want to know more, or if you have musical gifts which are not currently being used, speak to Michelle Hong, who is the leader of the Music Group.


Exodus sermon series
On Sunday, January 17th we embark on a new study series in the Old Testament book of Exodus. Why are we doing this ? Why preaching through Exodus ? * God’s Word is his means of self-revelation; God reveals himself through his word to us, the Bible, and through his living word, Jesus Christ * God’s Word has the capacity to speak directly into our world and into our lives; that is the way in which I came to faith in St Andrew's, Linton Road, Oxford 30 years ago * to understand better, and to see ourselves more clearly, we need to look away from ourselves; just as when we shave or put on lipstick * Because Exodus is a remarkably contemporary book; it touches a number of issues that continue to divide us today; attitudes towards immigration; aspects of Christian leadership; liberation from bondage and slavery; where is God in our desert experiences ? * Because Exodus (like Isaiah, which we studied just over a year ago)) is a story about a people in exile * Because Exodus is the seminal event of the OT history of the Jewish people; and it prefigures in some important ways the Easter story. Exodus: Chapters 1 & 2 Exodus is the second book of the Bible; it tells of the birth of Israel as a nation. It is dominated by the figure of Moses; God’s chosen agent for leading his people out of Egypt. Hence the name Exodus. Part 1 (chapters 1-19) is about liberation from slavery in Egypt. Part 2 (chapters 20-40) is about the giving of the law at Sinai. These sermons are not detailed Bible studies; we don’t need to become experts on Exodus. But we will work through these early chapters; and pick out some key themes which resonate in our lives today.
