The Blessing Course

A programme of conversation, reflection and study developed in partnership with Lindisfarne College of Theology...

The Blessing Course was developed by staff in the Ministry, Discipleship and Ministry Team and Lindisfarne College of Theology.

It is an accessible and varied programme of conversation, reflection and study designed to be used at ground level in parishes and chaplaincies.

It uses the diocesan language of ‘blessing’ as a way in to learning together about what it means to be blessed by God and to be caught up in being a blessing for our churches and communities.

The programme includes six units, each of which has five sessions. The six units are:

  • Unit 1 – Being Disciples

    PDF 1.9 MB

  • Unit 2 – Building Our Faith

    PDF 1.1 MB

  • Unit 3 – Prayer & Our Spiritual Lives

    PDF 3.4 MB

  • Unit 4 – Being The Church

    PDF 7.1 MB

  • Unit 5 – Being God’s Servants

    PDF 5.9 MB

  • Unit 6 – Blessing Your Local Area

    PDF 4.0 MB

“The Blessing Course enabled deeper conversation about prayer and how we are with God than had taken place for many years in our church. It is easy to use and can be adapted to local circumstances. I warmly commend it.”

Electronic and paper copies and support are available from the Mission, Discipleship and Ministry Team.
