The start of a new term and we begin with worship together as a federation. @ridleyhall @wesleyhousecam @westminstercollegecambs #westcott #Westcotthouse #ordinand #ordinandlife #churchofengland #cambridgefederation
An Easter meal together in the common room is the best way to celebrate. A wonderful meal prepared by @lizzierose92 #westcott #Westcotthouse #ordinand #ordinandlife #Easter #HeIsRisen #churchofengland #cofe
#Repost @thechurchofengland • • • • • • Happy Easter! He is risen indeed. Hallelujah!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other: “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter: ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.'"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✝✝✝⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The eggs we give and receive today have many different symbols attached to them. They represent new life and some people suggest that they resemble the stone at the entrance to Jesus' tomb. Who are you giving an Easter egg to today?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥚🥚🥚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #LentPilgrim #EasterPilgrim #EasterDay #EasterSunday #EasterEggs #Lent #Easter #reflections #churchofengland #launchday #archbishopofyork #bishopofoxford #lentreflections #lentstudygroup #eastertime #clergy #bishops #pilgrim #pilgrimjourney #church #churches #community #liveauthentic #prayer #Spring #Easter #HeIsRisen
#Repost @thechurchofengland • • • • • • Today is #MaundyThursday, when we remember Jesus sharing the Last Supper and washing the disciples' feet. Some churches will recreate this act of service today and you can find your nearest at www.AChurchNearYou.com. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying: 'This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.' And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying: 'This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Luke 22:19-20⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📔✝⛪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #LentPilgrim #EasterPilgrim #HolyWeek ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Lent #Easter #reflections #churchofengland #LastSupper #archbishopofyork #bishopofoxford #lentreflections #lentstudygroup #eastertime #clergy #bishops #pilgrim #pilgrimjourney #church #churches #community #liveauthentic #prayer #Bible #disciples

Spot the Westcott alumnus. #Repost @cofe.worcester • • • • • • This morning was our Chrism Eucharist (normally held on Maundy Thursday of Holy Week but here in the Diocese of Worcester it’s on the Monday). Oils are blessed during the service, the three oils are used for baptism, healing, and ordination. . . #chrism #eucharist #church #cathedral #worcestercathedral #oil #baptism #ordination #healing #clergy #priest #priests
Day 40: The Westcott rule of life sits on this principle and it is apt that our reflections finish with it. No matter where we are we must remember that we were called to be there. #westcott #Westcotthouse #ruleoflife #lent
Palm Sunday joy. #westcott #Westcotthouse #ordinand
Day 39: The rule of life in practice: The students at Westcott have lots of opportunities to get involved with the life of the house and can put themselves forward for the different positions. When term starts again the next group of students begins their time on the Common Room Committee. #westcott #Westcotthouse #ruleoflife #lent
Beautiful place to go running. #westcott #Westcotthouse #ordinand
Day 38: The rule of life in practice: Each week a different tutor group completes the tasks on the hospitality rota which include, amongst other tasks, making the tea and taking out the recycling. This helps to build a sense of community and responsibility. #westcott #Westcotthouse #ruleoflife #lent
Cambridge really is a beautiful place to train. #westcott #Westcotthouse #ordinand #ordinandlife #Cambridge
Day 37: The rule of life in practice: Each week a different ordinand takes on the role of Sub-deacon and organising the liturgy for our community Eucharist. The tutor group on duty forms the altar party, sidespeople and various other roles. When we do this it helps to learn together through our differences as we come together to share communion. #westcott #Westcotthouse #ruleoflife #lent
After the success of the Cambridge boats over the weekend here is a throwback to our brief stint out on the river. #westcott #Westcotthouse #ordinand #throwbackthursday #tbt #rowing
Day 36: The rule of life in practice: At Westcott our rule of life reflects our understanding that learning together can enhance our formation. The first year ordinands and final year ordinands have weekly sessions where they can discuss everything from tax forms to rural ministry. #westcott #Westcotthouse #ruleoflife #lent
