PowerPoint backgrounds for Sunday 2 June 2013 (Pentecost 2)

Elijah
said to her, ‘Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But
first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it
to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: “The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.”’ (1 Kings 17:13-14)

Lectionary Limbo

Just to let you know/remind/cause you hassle the lectionary readings through June have been swapped about a little in order to keep the OT story (which is the controlling story for us this time round) in chronological order. It means we've swapped this week with next week and then week three with week four. All the passages are there so if you wish to be strict with the lectionary just use the following week this sunday and use this week next week. (I've always been so clear in explaining things!)

The lectionary uses the OT passages in this season to support the others. We've chosen to let the other passages support the OT. It is such a good arc of stories you don't want to jump around too much. Sorry it is confuses but it keeps thing interesting. Perhaps no one has noticed of course...
