God at Work

This term's sermon series is on God at Work - but it doesn't just relate to paid work. This video from LICC explains what we mean by 'work'

And this short video from LICC explains why out frontlines and workplaces matter to God's mission in the world.

Suggested resources

The book that the sermons are based on is Tim Keller's "Every Good Endeavour: Connecting your work to God's work" (available from other sellers too). Copies are available on Sundays or from the office. Also available as an audio book or ebook online. 

Copies of Trish Harrison Warren's "Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life" are also available

The London Institute of Contemporary Christianity (LICC) have lots of good resources on thinking about being Christians in our workplaces / on our frontlines. 

They also publish a weekly email on Mondays with a short reflection on a passage from the Bible, with a frontline focus. 

​Here's some ideas on how we can pray the Lord's prayer in our 'workplaces' - whether they're paid or unpaid. 

You can download an 'Everyday Faith' app from the Church of England

Other print resources will be available from church as the series continues.
