The worldwide Micah 2010 campaign will culminate on 10/10/10 - Micah Sunday.
Micah 6:8:
‘And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God’

Kingsway is proud to be supporting Micah Challenge – the campaign to mobilise the Church to call world leaders to account and remember the promises made as part of the Millennium Development Goals a decade ago.
A part of our support comes in the form of a new compilation that we are releasing on the 21st June. ‘Micah Challenge – You Have Shown Us’ is a 15 track collection of songs that try to join the dots between worship and justice.
Committed to bringing the Christian message to young people in his hometown of Manchester,
Andy Hawthorne was shocked when a missions partner told him he shouldn't just preach the gospel but also engage in community projects.
It worked. The Message Trust has been recognized internationally as bringing hope and change to the roughest, poorest neighbourhoods of Manchester.

Lent And Easter Readings From Iona
This book of readings from members and staff of the Iona Community aims to help us reappraise our lives during the period leading up to Easter.
Lent is traditionally a time of repentance and penitence but it also offers an opportunity to see the world afresh, with a new sense of wonder.
These readings encourage us not only to regard ourselves with a healthy realism, so that we can accept responsibility for our shortcomings, but also to recognise the nature and purposes of God and the never-ending renewal of possibility, both within ourselves and in the world.

Walking with Jesus though Lent and Easter - is designed to help adults and children to prepare for Easter together by entering a 'visual pilgrimage' - a spiritual exploration through Lent that culminates with the celebration of Easter.
The material is ideal for families and church-based children's groups. The seven weekly themes each unpack different aspects of Jesus' ministry, starting with the call to follow him and focusing on key aspects of this teaching, including miracles, parables and mission. Each theme helpfully provides five days' worth of material until Holy Week is reached, whereupon there is a reflection for each of these special days concluding with Easter Day itself.
Each daily reflection is accompanied by a photocopiable illustration, designed to draw participants deeper into the Lenten journey as they colour in this part of the story. Each illustration then builds into a storyboard frieze that can be hung on the wall or unfolded on the floor, where the gospel story gradually unfolds in a memorable visual drama.

Rejoicing in Newness of Life - David Adam
Lent is a time when the days are lengthening and the sun is strengthening. After the winter there is a feeling of brightness and hope, as we move towards the great celebration of Easter and the promise that life is eternal.
The services in this book reflect this increasing light, with a short Litany on Ash Wednesday and throughout Lent, which becomes a candle lighting on Easter Day to Pentecost, symbolising that without Christ we would remain in the dark.
The services are designed to enable both young and old to commit their lives to God and rejoice in this great season.

Tasting Life - Chris Morley
Christians have often found that practising the physical discipline of limiting what and when they eat also deepens their spiritual awareness of God.
This book is designed to sensitise readers in a similar way, helping them to make God a daily reality and to enable a closer relationship with their deeper selves.
Each day’s thought begins with an often light-hearted look at an aspect of human behaviour or something extraordinary from the natural world. This is used to encourage inward reflection on a facet of our own experience, in the light of God’s involvement in our lives.

Encounters With Jesus - Joel Edwards
Written by Joel Edwards, this 6-week Lent study goes to the very heart of our Christian faith and the meaning of Lent. We now have an urgent mission: to help people rediscover the awfulness of that condition which separates us from the love of God and which makes the life, death and resurrection of Jesus so central to our faith - sin. With "Psalm 51" running sequentially as a common thread through each of the six studies, providing an Old Testament complement to the "New Testament" encounters this study puts Jesus where He belongs, at the very centre of our thoughts. Each study includes an opening icebreaker, suggested prayers and discussion starters as well as the main study, making it ideal for small groups. The material requires minimal preparation by the leader.
