Come Forth: The Raising of Lazarus and its Meaning For Us Today

With a focus on the raising of Lazarus in John’s Gospel we will explore themes of love and friendship with Jesus, Martha and Mary and family, waiting, patience and growth, sadness and grief, things we want to leave behind and finding freedom and joy.

The morning is based on James Martin’s book, ‘Come forth. The raising of Lazarus and the promise of Jesus’ greatest miracle’. The morning will have a mixture of input, discussion and quiet reflection.
