It’s Ash Wednesday on Wednesday 18th February and from that point until Ascension Day on Thursday 14th of May my hope is that St. Margaret’s and All Saints’ will be journeying through a sermon series entitled God on the Road.

God on the Road is a series of readings that will take us on a journey, reminding us that “God is always on the move” and that while we encounter the beauty of God in church services, so much of the work of God in the scriptures is found in the forgotten, barren and hurting places. As we pilgrimage through this earthly life it is helpful to remember that so much of the work of God (in all God’s wholeness) in scripture takes place on journeys, on the way to somewhere, on difficult and testing paths, on the road towards the new creation and the good future God has in store for all of us.

On Sundays we will walk with Moses through our Sunday readings leading up to Palm Sunday. We will then follow Jesus from Palm Sunday until the resurrection, encountering Jesus in some resurrection appearances.

The sense of direction for this series has emerged from a real sense of God’s leading: in each parish, at this time, we are challenged in who we (as churches) are in Jesus and I believe we should be challenged to explore where and how we might serve God as pilgrims walking the road as followers of The Way of Jesus.

I hope you will join in following God on the Road.
