The new year is zipping past and that means a new issue of Spill the Beans has escaped from my computer. Issue 22 covers the season of Lent, Easter all the way to Pentecost Sunday, 5 March 2017 to 4 June 2017 with ideas for Holy Week included.

A huge thank you to all the creative team who added their contributions for this issue. We are already working away writing material for the summer issue at the moment.

For current Beanies you alread know what a fabulous resource this is, created by folks here in Scotland. If you have not yet, but are intrigued, have a look at this sample.

If you'd like to download a full copy of Issue 22 for use in your church or personally, then click the button below. The cost is only £12. You can make a secure payment via PayPal and then an email with secure link to the download should wing its way to you.

Please follow the instructions carefully. The Adobe pdf file is approximately 5 MB so it will take some time to download.
