Delving deeper with God during the sesason of Easter using the ABM app Deep calls to Deep.
DEEP CALLS TO DEEP: LOVE IN A TIME OF COVID19
ABM offers a valuable spiritual resource for this difficult time.
Does the Spirit of God move over the face of the turbulent waters of our age? The Hebrew word for “move” here is merahepeth, which means to “brood” as a bird broods over its nest until finally new life begins to stir beneath the sheltering wings. Is new life stirring in this death-ridden world? Is light about to be created out of our darkness? This is the only question that matters.
Frederick Buechner - The Magnificent Defeat
Celia Kemp leads us through the deep waters of fear, anxiety and death and into an abiding sense of shalom – peace.
With scripture, images, quotes and the wisdom of ages, Deep Calls to Deep offers 46 days of journey that refuses to pretend all is well, while still believing that all will be well.
In times like these we are offered the opportunity to explore the ‘inside’, burrow into our souls and discover the hidden realms of the heart, and study how much bigger it is than we expected. For fans of Dr Who, Deep Calls to Deep is a veritable ‘Tardis’ of spiritual growth!
Step inside, rediscover the contemplative Spirit and let the waves of God’s action carry you to new depths and new revelation.
There is nothing pretty about Christian hope. Whatever Christian hope is, it begins in terror and utter disorientation in the face of the collapse of all that is familiar and well known.

Here is the prayer we will say together when we gather and depart at our sessions, please feel welcome to make use of it:
Lord of life, thank you for calling us to go deeper with you this Eastertide.
May we bravely meet you and one another in our time together and when we are reflecting on your word.
Please give us courage to face the truth and share with grace.
May we be made strong in our vulnerability before you and equipped to be real about life.
Show us the depths that only you can reveal.
Help us to breath your Spirit when we feel like we are drowning.
Come Lord Jesus, Come. Amen.
