Lent Bible Study 2025
Discipleship in Practice
‘Discipleship’ and ‘disciple’ are words that appear often in church services. Jesus regularly refers to people being his disciples. We tend to think of it as meaning ‘to follow Jesus’. We talk about being ‘in Christ’ and ‘walking with Jesus’ but what do these expressions mean in practice? How do we be a disciple of Jesus?
Join us for our next online Presbytery Bible study where we will explore what being a disciple really means for us today.
There will be three sessions during Lent, then a break for Easter and three further sessions after Easter. You can join any or all the sessions, which start at 7.30 PM (CET) on a Tuesday and will last about an hour.
Dates are:
· 11 March
· 25 March
· 8 April
· 6 May
· 20 May
· 3 June

Scots Kirk Lausanne hosts live stream discussion with Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin
Scots Kirk Lausanne has invited Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin from the Parents Circle & Family Forum to come and speak. They are two fathers, an Israeli and a Palestinian, who are grieving the loss of their daughters to the Is/Pal conflict and work together for creating peace in their homeland. They and the 700+ other families in PCFF choose everyday to not seek revenge, but to seek understanding and peace in efforts to save other parents from experiencing what they have experienced.
Each one tells their story and then the floor is open for the listeners to ask questions. It lasts about 1hour+ depending on the number of questions. Please use the QR to register.
