Wellsprings of the Spirit
A series of devotional services for Lent which explore the themes of personal and practical spirituality.
Today is Palm Sunday.
The last programme in the series comes from the Anfield Road Fellowship in Liverpool, and follows the theme of Awareness. Dave and Tina Cave talk about the life of this street-level Christian community, which has grown up around the inner-city house which is also their family home.
Steve McGuire and members of the Fellowship lead the prayers, and Andy Dawson reflects on the consequences of carrying Jesus into the city.
Readings: Luke 19, vv 29-44; John 13, vv 3-5, 12-14. With music from the Church of Christ
Apostolic, Anfield:
Hosanna, Hosanna; 0 Lord, the clouds are gathering; Heaven is in my heart; From heaven you came; One more step along the world I go; Ride on, ride on in majesty. Stereo
