A HARVEST OF JOY!

Philippians - a joyful letter from Paul to friends in Philippi

 In June every year, the people who are called Methodists set aside time to really study a Book of the Bible together. The chosen  Book becomes the focus for sermons. A range of opportunities are also offered for small group discussions. These broaden our individual times of Bible Study. 
In 2026 year, Bible Month invites us to explore one of the most joyful and encouraging letters in the New Testament: Philippians. This was written by the apostle Paul from prison. The four short parts (chapters) of this letter (epistle) overflows with warmth, hope, and practical wisdom for living a Christ-shaped life.

Over the four weeks of June, discussions will reveal:

Joy that endures – Paul’s call to rejoice, even in hardship, rooted in confidence in God’s goodness.
Christ-like humility – the famous “Christ hymn” in chapter 2, showing Jesus’ self-giving love as our model.
Pressing on in faith – discipleship as a lifelong journey of growth and perseverance.
Grace and peace – learning contentment and generosity in every circumstance

Follow the story in the church windows at Heworth, with 'Jars of Joy', 'inside out' crowns,  'Citizens of heaven', 'webs of God's Grace'.
