Easter 7

Acts 16.16-34

Seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary - Week 7 of 8

Eight weeks in which we find, in the Acts of the Apostles, Luke’s understanding of what it means to encounter the risen Christ.

Shaking up

Paul and Silas are thrown into jail. After their amazing release their guard is baptised with his family.

This week's reading, Acts 16.16-34, provides an opportunity to:

  • identify patterns of resurrection in Paul’s experience (AAA & CYP)
  • recognise the impact of solidarity in difficult situations (AAA & CYP)
  • be reminded about the reality of the nature of baptism (AAA).

These resources were first published in 2013.
