The final of five issues using our own lectionary (bible reading plan) is now published for Spill the Beans. It has been a tremendous journey through parts of the Bible and Apocrypha which we don't usually spend time with and we hope this final chapter of that journey is as fulfilling as the previous four.

Issue 32 covers from Pentecost 12 to Reign of Christ Sunday (1 September to 24 November 2019). This issue includes:

• Space To Be A Hero: intergenerational event (provided by Jen Robertson from the Scottish Bible Society)
• The Judges (the final three weeks of the series begun in Issue 31)
• Double-Take Tales (three stories that make you stop in your tracks and take another look)
• A Revelation For The Church (a four week series on Revelation's message to the church)
• Closing Stories (a final three weeks of stories we just had to include, including for Remembrance Sunday)

Created by folks here in Scotland, this issue has lots of ideas and resources for you to inspire, adapt, use in leading worship or for age groups in Junior Churches and youth groups. If you have not used Spill the Beans before then please have a look at this sample.
