St John’s Church Lent Course, 2018

23/3/2018

The death of Stephen Hawking during the time that we were undertaking our lent course based on the film, 'The Theory of Everything' was poignant. We all felt that we knew so much about him already, through our discussions, as the newspapers were filled with long obituaries for this amazing genius.  

The starting point for the course each week was based around the multi-award winning film about the life of Stephen Hawking. There were 5 sessions.
 
“The experience of wonder”.
"The enigma of weakness”           
"The complexity of relationships”
"The encounter with frailty”
“The hope beyond brokenness”
 
Twelve people attended the sessions. A highlight was the relaxed wonderful deep discussions we had, coming as we did with our experience of different churchmanship. We were a truly churches together group with three people from Lymm Baptist Church, one from St Wilfrid’s R.C. Church, one from a Winwick church, one from St Mary’s, Rostherne, five from St John’s and one person from no particular church.
