Fluff week

4 - 10 June 2011

Easter 7

1 Peter 4.12-14; 5.6-11

Context

This is our final week with the short first letter of Peter, as we reach the end of Eastertide and look forward to Pentecost next week.

Common thread: Casting your cares (1 Peter 4.12-14; 5.6-11) 

This final reading from 1 Peter is clearly material that was written to a community under duress. We, too, can take comfort from its teaching as we seek to support one another in living Christian lives despite all the challenges that this presents.

An alternative thread, A different way of being smart, continues to explore material from the Acts of the Apostles. This week, the reading is Acts 1.6-14.

These resources were first published in Issue 53 May/June 2011.
