Living Christ
Resources for Learning Faith in your family
The role of parents and of church in passing faith on to children;
watch this first . . .
LIVING CHRIST (an introduction for children).
That's the name of our Christian formation for children from 3-11 and their families.
It begins on Sunday, November 3 at 9:15 am and continue every Sunday after.
It's an introduction to living a Christian life. It happens where living happens - in community, in the company of family and friends.
It'll be like this! Each meeting of Living Christ will be a simple celebration of Eucharist, with song and prayer and communion. And each meeting will include within it a time of learning together and of activity to strengthen that learning. It's going to be fun.
Call the Church Office at Saint Anselm's for further information.
In addition, moms and dads, grandparents, children and friends will find resources on this page to support learning in Christ.
AND, on the second Friday evening of the month, Messy Church will exuberantly meet in the Great Hall. You can learn more about Messy Church here -> www.messychurch.org.uk/ And on every day of the month, videos, reading, and Biblical and creative resources will be here to help extend what we do at church into everyday life at home.
Home is where faith takes root. Here at church we hope to provide the resources for its growth around your table, in your family room, at bedtime prayers, and wherever God comes to meet your family each new day.

The way of Love: Practices for a Jesus-Centered Life
https://www.episcopalchurch.org/way-of-love
An Invitation from Presiding Bishop Michael B. Curry to Practice the Way of LoveI pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. – Ephesians 3:17-19
In the first century Jesus of Nazareth inspired a movement. A community of people whose lives were centered on Jesus Christ and committed to living the way of God’s unconditional, unselfish, sacrificial, and redemptive love. Before they were called “church” or “Christian,” this Jesus Movement was simply called “the way.”
Today I believe our vocation is to live as the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement. But how can we together grow more deeply with Jesus Christ at the center of our lives, so we can bear witness to his way of love in and for the world?
The deep roots of our Christian tradition may offer just such a path. For centuries, monastic communities have shaped their lives around rhythms and disciplines for following Jesus together. Such a pattern is known as a “Rule of Life.” The framework you now hold – The Way of Love: Practices for Jesus-Centered Life – outlines a Rule for the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement.
It is designed to be spare and spacious, so that individuals, ministry groups, congregations, and networks can flesh it out in unique ways and build a church-wide treasure trove of stories and resources. There is no specific order you need to follow. If you already keep a Rule or spiritual disciplines, you might reflect and discover how that path intersects with this one. By entering into reflection, discernment and commitment around the practices of Turn - Learn - Pray - Worship - Bless - Go - Rest, I pray we will grow as communities following the loving, liberating, life-giving way of Jesus. His way has the power to change each of our lives and to change this world.
